KA YING WARRIOR

Three weeks ago, over Sha Tin 1200m, the performance was disappointing with a slow start and settling towards the rear. A steady pace was maintained without any noticeable acceleration. Switching to Happy Valley 1200m for its debut at this distance, the horse now benefits from a two-pound weight reduction and has drawn a favorable barrier, potentially allowing for a forward position. Conditioning is improving; despite the distance likely not being ideal, its finishing speed may be lacking. A clean break is crucial to secure a good position and improve on previous form.
