BLAZING BEAM

Ten days ago, the horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1400m course, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear of the field. The pace throughout the race was even, with a late rally to make up some ground. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m, it will carry one pound more this time. The current barrier draw doesn't appear favorable and the trainer-jockey combination hasn't shown significant synergy. Despite decent records and timing indicators, even adopting a hold-up strategy for a late surge, it’s unlikely to be a strong contender within the group.
