KING MILES

Three weeks ago, the horse ran a very disappointing race over a Happy Valley 1200m on turf; it jumped slowly, tracked from behind, and showed a weakening late run. Returning to Sha Tin over 1200m this time, the horse needs to carry four extra pounds, putting it at a slight disadvantage. Its finishing kick is somewhat lacking, and the jockey-trainer partnership hasn't shown any outstanding synergy. Success in this race may come from prior performance and an ideal draw, allowing it a chance at a placing.
