SETANTA

Four weeks ago, this horse performed respectably over a Sha Tin 1400m, though its start was slow and it settled towards the rear, maintaining a steady gallop throughout before slowly closing in at the finish. Revisiting Happy Valley over a mile, where it has won twice previously with acceptable times, the jockey's riding style suits the horse. Morning work shows consistent effort, but its racing circumstances haven't aligned well; if it settles towards the rear again, its closing speed may not match rivals. It could be a value outsider bet.
