TAIHANG SCENERY

Seven days ago, the horse showed excellent form in a sprint on Happy Valley turf. While not fast out of the gate, he tracked towards the rear and maintained a steady pace throughout, gradually closing in at the finish. He chased down to take second place, beaten only by two and a half lengths. In his last run on Happy Valley turf over 1200m, he finished third in three consecutive races, so the current prospects are not ideal. His draw was unimpressive, and the jockey-trainer combination wasn't perfect. However, his ability to run from behind is advantageous, and his finishing kick among the field is strong with decent recent timing, making him a potential place contender.
