LOVELY MILES

Four weeks ago, the horse ran reasonably well over a 1200m Sha Tin turf, though its start was slow and it settled towards the rear with a steady pace, recovering some ground in the final stages. In its last outing over 1400m Sha Tin turf, this was a maiden run at the distance; its time did not stand out, and the circumstances were disadvantageous. If it settles again towards the back, its closing speed may not match rivals; the partnership between jockey and trainer has not shown significant synergy, making it difficult to have high expectations.
