TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR

Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over Sha Tin 1200m, leading the pace to finish fourth, beaten two and a half lengths – a respectable performance. Returning to dirt over 1200m, it will carry one pound more this time. However, its four previous attempts over this distance resulted in losses, making the situation less favorable. The barrier draw wasn’t ideal, and its finishing kick is questionable. There isn't a strong synergy between the trainer and jockey. Despite this, its time figures are decent; consider as an outside chance for minor placing.
