LIGHT YEARS GLORY

Six weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m turf track, jumping slowly and settling at the rear with a steady pace but lacking a finishing burst to finish fourth. A recent barrier trial showed slight improvement. Making its debut on Sha Tin’s 1400m turf course this time with a three-pound weight reduction, the distance should suit. The horse is expected to race from behind and boasts the strongest finishing kick in the group. The jockey has some understanding of the horse's capabilities, although the barrier draw isn't ideal and trainer-jockey synergy is limited, it aims to redeem its previous performance.
