KING OF FIGHTERS

Three weeks ago, this horse ran disappointingly over a Sha Tin 1200m, showing a slow jump and settling towards the rear. The pace throughout was average, with a gradual improvement in the final section. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m, it will carry two pounds more weight this time. The horse has a 0-5 record at this distance, with no standout timing figures; the current form is unfavorable. Despite a favorable draw and a potential hold-up strategy, its finishing kick is the least impressive in the field. The jockey seems to have a good understanding of the horse’s temperament, but prospects appear limited.
