JOYFUL PROSPERITY

Four days ago, this horse ran a strong performance over a Happy Valley long-distance race. Despite an slow start from the gates, he conserved energy and ran steadily throughout, managing to recover some ground in the closing stages to secure second place. Fortunately, he wasn't too far behind. His previous run on Sha Tin over 1800m in a different field was not overly favorable; his finishing kick was slightly lacking, and while he won that race with a good track and advantageous draw, it is not the selection for this current contest.
