AURIO

Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over Sha Tin 1200m, settling towards the rear with a consistent pace throughout before making ground in the final stages to finish fourth, beaten just half a length. Returning to Happy Valley 1200m this time with a two-pound weight reduction, the barrier draw is favorable. Its finishing kick appears strongest in its class, currently holding a leading rating among the field. Trainer and jockey are working well together, and the horse is maintaining stable condition; a leading contender.
