MATSU VICTOR

Four weeks ago, this horse showed excellent form over 1600m on Sha Tin turf, maintaining his position near the front and holding his momentum in the final stages to finish fourth, losing only two and a half lengths. Now competing again on Sha Tin turf over 1800m, his recent form is respectable and he has an ideal draw allowing him to run near the front. His finishing kick within this group is strong, and the jockey has a good handle on the horse; however, he will carry an extra 18 pounds this time, making him worth a speculative bet.
