ROMANTIC FANTASY

Three weeks ago, this horse ran very disappointingly over a long Happy Valley trip; starting slowly and tracking from the rear with a steady pace, he gradually closed in at the finish but was only three and a half lengths beaten. Returning to Sha Tin over 1800m, he now carries three pounds less, and his recent timing is acceptable. Despite four consecutive losses in this group, a not entirely favorable position, and slightly lacking in finishing kick, he can still be considered as an option.
