NOISY BOY

Two weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over 2000m on the Sha Tin turf, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear. He made a mid-race move and chased in the straight for two sections at a consistent pace throughout, resulting in an unremarkable performance. Returning to Happy Valley over a mile, he is set to carry three pounds more this time, facing a timing disadvantage against his rivals and drawing a poor barrier. The trainer-jockey combination hasn't shown significant success together; however, the horse’s ability to run from behind gives him a strong finishing kick relative to the field, and his morning trackwork remains promising, suggesting he may still have a chance.
