SOLEIL FIGHTER

Six days ago, over Sha Tin 1600m, the performance was poor; a slow start led to settling at the back with an even pace but no finishing kick. Racing again within two weeks, this time stepping up to Happy Valley 1800m and carrying five pounds more than last run. Although this distance should suit, drawing a favorable barrier allows for tracking the pace, presenting an advantageous position. Compared to other contenders, this horse possesses a notable strength advantage, however, it will likely need to settle at the back again and lacks the finishing speed of its rivals; a placement is recommended.
