WINNING CHAMPION

Two weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over Sha Tin 1400m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and finishing within two lengths of the winner. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m this time with a three-pound weight reduction, the horse has a favorable setup and is expected to be competitive from an early pace; it still retains a reasonable finishing kick. The jockey understands the horse's temperament well and the trainer-jockey relationship remains solid. However, its overall time hasn’t been particularly impressive, suggesting potential for an upset victory.
