HONORARY

Trial on 8/5 (Happy Valley turf 1200m: 3-3-3), responded well on the bend and maintained pace into the straight. Four weeks ago, he performed reasonably over Sha Tin turf 1600m, showing ability to accelerate and holding his momentum in the final stages. A trial run showed slight improvement. In a subsequent Sha Tin turf 1200m trial, he lost all three runs with slow sectional times and no outstanding finishing kick. His advantage lies in his ability to compete near the front, and his recent form is not poor, but overall chances remain low.
