Four weeks ago, this horse ran respectably over 1200m on Sha Tin turf; he broke slowly, settled towards the rear, maintained a steady pace throughout, and gradually closed in on the final stages. Fortunately, he was not overly weighted and finished only two and a half lengths behind. In his last outing over 1400m on Sha Tin turf, his timing was acceptable, and his late drive against the field was the strongest. He is among the highest-rated horses for this race, with a good partnership between jockey and trainer, but he needs to carry three pounds more in this race, and the track position is not entirely favorable; nevertheless, he remains a main contender for victory.
