OCEAN IMPACT

Five weeks ago, the horse showed excellent form over a long distance on Happy Valley turf, maintaining a steady pace while running in the rear and gradually closing in during the final stages to finish fourth, beaten only by two lengths. Shifting to Sha Tin over 2000m for its first attempt at this trip, the horse carries a pound less in this race. The distance is suitable for this horse, the group timing is acceptable, and the draw is not unfavorable. With connections' plans aligned, despite a slightly disadvantageous shape and somewhat lacking in the finishing kick, this horse should not be overlooked.
