SUPER HONG KONG

Eleven days ago, the horse performed reasonably well in a long-distance race on Happy Valley turf. He did not jump out quickly, settled back, maintaining an average pace throughout the race, and made some ground in the closing stages to finish as a runner-up. In his last start over 1800m on dirt, he was disadvantaged by the pace of the group and had to run from off the pace; his finishing kick was not as strong as his rivals, and the jockey and trainer did not appear to be perfectly in sync. However, with an advantageous draw and a nine-pound weight allowance this time, he warrants attention.
