MAGIC CONTROL

Six weeks ago, the horse performed reasonably well in a short-distance race on Happy Valley turf, staying near the rear but finishing only two lengths behind. After running over 1200m on Sha Tin turf, the horse will carry an extra five pounds this time. Having failed in eleven previous races, its current prospects are unconfirmed; however, its finishing kick remains a notable advantage and the barrier draw is not poor, so it should not be overlooked.
