SUNNY DA BEST

Three weeks ago, this horse put in an outstanding performance over the Sha Tin turf 1400m, settling at the rear and making steady ground with a strong late surge to finish third, beaten only by two lengths. He recently trialed over Sha Tin 1200m and carries a 1lb claim this time. He has a good record at this distance and has drawn a decent barrier. If ridden from the rear, his finishing kick is among the strongest in this field. The jockey and horse have a decent rapport, and there is strong mutual trust between the trainer and rider. Despite preparation being thorough, his trial time was not particularly impressive and he faced a slightly disadvantageous run, but he remains a horse to follow.
