FORTUNE BOY

Four weeks ago, the horse performed reasonably well in a 2000m race on Sha Tin turf, running strongly in the rear with a decent late run. He finished only three lengths behind. Stepping up in class, he tried 2400m on Sha Tin turf for the first time at this distance. The circumstances are not particularly favorable; a trailing running style may not allow him to keep up with the competition in the final stages. The jockey-trainer combination is not ideal, but a suitable distance and favorable barrier draw are encouraging points to watch.
