PACKING FIGHTER

Ten days ago, this horse ran a respectable race over Sha Tin 1800m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and making a mid-race move before chasing two sections down the straight. He finished well, beaten two and a half lengths, showing promising ability. Switching to dirt over a mile this time for his first attempt at this distance, he benefits from a four-pound weight reduction and has a favorable draw. He looks capable of leading early with the strongest finishing kick in the field; the jockey’s style suits the horse's characteristics. However, the distance may not be ideal and his time figures are relatively weak, so caution is advised.
