VOYAGE SAMURAI

Three weeks ago, this horse ran a disappointing race over a dirt mile; he showed early speed and maintained a steady tempo throughout but lacked any impressive sections. Stepping up in class, he recently returned to Sha Tin turf over 1800m where an unfavorable draw and a lack of a strong finishing kick were noted. Despite a lack of seamless synergy between trainer and jockey, his ability to use early speed to vie for position remains an asset. He is a potential outsider capable of being included in exotic bets.
