WITHOUT RHYME

On 5/8, he ran a Happy Valley turf barrier trial over 1700m (2-2-2-4), tracking near the front and maintained his pace into the straight. Four weeks ago, he ran poorly over a Happy Valley mile, drifting at the back and showing weakness in the closing stages, resulting in a heavy defeat. His trial run was not particularly impressive. Switching to Sha Tin turf over 1400m, this debut trip carries an extra two pounds. Given the distance is not suitable and facing a time gap in his race group, his prospects are somewhat diminished. His closing speed was slightly inferior, and the jockey-trainer combination does not appear particularly in sync, making high hopes difficult.
