VIVA TASTE

Three weeks ago, this horse ran well in a dirt track 1800m race, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear. He showed a strong late run to finish fourth. Another trial over Sha Tin turf at 1800m saw him carry no additional weight; clocking similar section times as others, he drew an outside barrier. This time around, a hold-up tactics is expected, but finishing kick may not be strong enough to compete with rivals, and the current situation isn't ideal for winning chances.
