MARVEL AND GOLD

Four weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over Sha Tin 1200m, settling towards the rear and maintaining a steady pace throughout with an unremarkable performance. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m, the horse has failed to win in three attempts at this distance and showed a time difference within its group. The position is unfavorable, with only a slight finishing kick. Trainer-jockey collaboration has been unremarkable and despite a four-pound weight reduction and an advantageous barrier draw, prospects appear limited.
