NEXT FORTUNE

Five weeks ago, this horse performed poorly in a Happy Valley 1200m race on turf, settling back with an even pace throughout and a lackluster run. Switching to Sha Tin over 1400m, this was his first attempt at the distance; the trip seemed unsuitable and his sectional times were weak. He also drew an unfavorable barrier, but fortunately, he showed good tactical speed early and has the strongest closing kick in the group, so caution is advised.
