LOVERO

Three weeks ago, the performance over Happy Valley mile was disappointing; he ran staying and maintained a steady pace throughout with an unremarkable run. He returned to Sha Tin over 1400m, and in this race he must carry an extra pound. His sectional times are weak, the situation is not favorable, his draw is not ideal, and his finishing kick is slightly lacking. There isn't a particularly strong connection between the jockey and trainer, making high expectations difficult.
