BABY SAKURA

Three weeks ago, this horse performed excellently over 1200m on Sha Tin turf, maintaining a steady pace in the rear and making up significant ground in the final stages to secure second place, beaten by only a half length. Stepping up in class and trying over 1400m on Sha Tin turf for the first time, he carries a 17-pound weight reduction this time. His timing was acceptable, and his finishing kick is the strongest in his group. Based on handicap ratings, he is considered the strongest contender in this race. The jockey has a good understanding of the horse's temperament, and the connections show strong chemistry, giving him a good chance to win.
