POSITIVE SMILE

Three weeks ago, this horse performed excellently over 1200m on Sha Tin turf. Although he was slow exiting the barrier, he tracked from the back with a steady pace throughout, gradually closing in in the final stages to secure second place, beaten only half a length. Stepping up in class and trying 1400m on Sha Tin turf this time, the circumstances were somewhat disadvantageous due to unfavorable barrier draws. He was forced to track from behind, and his finishing kick was inferior to his competitors. The synergy between the jockey and trainer does not appear particularly cohesive; however, given that he has won twice in this group before, caution is advised.
