KING GLORIOSO

Three weeks ago, the horse performed poorly over a Happy Valley 1200m on turf, tracking in the rear and showing weak late speed. In his last run over a Sha Tin 1400m on turf, the draw was not ideal and the finishing kick was unremarkable; connections also did not demonstrate a particularly strong partnership. He won only due to his ability to quicken and favorable track conditions, but he is not favored for this race.
