THOUSAND SPIRIT

Two weeks ago, this horse ran impressively over a Sha Tin 1200m, taking the lead and still showing strong momentum in the straight to finish second, beaten by half a length. Stepping back to Happy Valley over 1200m this time, it's the horse’s first attempt at this distance. A one-pound weight reduction is beneficial, and the trip should suit well with reasonable time figures recorded. The horse clearly holds an advantageous position, is expected to challenge for the lead, and possesses the strongest finishing kick in its class. Overall assessment places it among the leading contenders; the jockey-horse combination is solid, and trainer’s tactics are well-suited, making it a strong chance.
