HEROIC MASTER

Five weeks ago, this horse performed well in a Happy Valley sprint; despite a slow start, it settled back and maintained a steady run, making up significant ground in the final stages to finish only two and a half lengths behind. While it has failed to win in seven attempts over this Sha Tin straight course and faces an unfavorable draw, the horse's finishing kick remains the strongest in this field if settled towards the rear. Given its acceptable time figures, it remains a contender for a placing.
