GUSTOSISIMO

Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Happy Valley 1200m, jumping slowly but settling in midfield with a steady pace before finishing fourth with a good late run, beaten one and a half lengths. Returning to Sha Tin over 1200m this time, he will carry three pounds more weight. He has previous form over this distance and good times within the group. He is expected to settle well tracking the leaders, drawing an advantageous inside barrier, and his current position is favorable. Compared to other horses in the race, his strength is undeniable. Trainer and jockey appear to have a good working relationship, anticipating a second-place finish.
