BLOSSOMY

Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1400m, slow to jump and settling at the back. The pace was even throughout the race, with a gradual late improvement. Switching to dirt over a mile this time as a first attempt at the distance, the form doesn’t look ideal. A hold-up tactics could see him struggling to make up ground in the final stages, and trainer/jockey combination isn’t optimal. However, the distance should suit and the barrier draw is reasonable; not to be dismissed.
