FRANTANCK

Three weeks ago, this horse performed excellently over a Happy Valley mile, showing natural ability and accelerating in the middle stages before powering on for two furlongs in the straight to finish fourth, beaten only half a length, indicating a high standard. After the last run, he ran over 1400m on Sha Tin turf and this time needs to carry seventeen pounds, losing all four races due to unfavorable draw and a slightly inferior closing burst. The jockey and trainer do not appear particularly in sync, but he possesses the ability to seize the lead and his form suits the conditions.
