Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1600m distance, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a finishing burst and finished fourth, beaten three and a half lengths. Now stepping up to a Sha Tin 1800m for his first attempt at this trip, he will carry one pound more this time. The increased distance is expected to suit him, requiring a hold-up strategy with a strong finishing kick being the horse’s greatest asset. The form looks promising and there's good trust between trainer and jockey; considered capable of winning."
