Three weeks ago, the horse performed excellently over 1200m on Sha Tin turf. After a slow start, he tracked the pace and maintained an even cruising speed throughout, regaining some ground in the closing stages to finish as the runner-up. Fortunately, the margin was small, losing only half a length. In his subsequent run over 1400m on Sha Tin turf, the circumstances were not favorable with an unfavorable draw. Despite tracking from off in a competitive race, his finishing kick was the most potent in the field, and his time figure was among the best. A less-than-perfect performance is not surprising.
