CARRYON SMILING

Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over 1400m on Sha Tin turf. He was slow to break and drifted to the rear, maintaining a steady pace throughout with an uninspiring run. Moving to Happy Valley for longer distances, this was his debut over this trip, and he is at a disadvantage. The partnership between jockey and trainer hasn't shown exceptional synergy; however, if he adopts a stalking tactic, his closing run could be the strongest in the field, and given the distance configuration, he must be monitored.
