TURQUOISE VELOCITY

Three weeks ago, this horse showed decent form over a Happy Valley 1200m trip, showing good acceleration but weakening in the final stages. Returning to race today over a Sha Tin 1200m course, which is a new distance for him, the time figures were acceptable. With good race positioning and favorable drawing, he has the ability to challenge for a strong position even if carrying an extra 15 pounds today, possessing slightly less finishing kick, and the jockey/trainer combination is not yet completely settled; however, he should still be competitive.
