VIRTUS GLORY

Three weeks ago, this horse delivered an excellent performance over a Happy Valley 1200m, really extending himself to finish in the placings, narrowly beaten by three and a half lengths. Returning to Sha Tin over 1200m, his prospects were slightly less favorable; he lacked a prominent finishing kick, and the jockey-trainer combination wasn't ideal. However, with a decent draw and an acceptable time performance, significant expectations are tempered.
