NOVA KNIGHT

Two weeks ago, this horse underperformed over a Sha Tin 1400m, settling towards the rear and weakening in the final stages for a significant defeat. Switching to dirt over a mile, it was his first attempt at this distance and the trip didn't suit, with unremarkable time figures. He faced a disadvantageous situation and lacked a strong late surge. However, the jockey’s style complements the horse's characteristics, and with a two-pound weight reduction for this race, chances remain limited.
