BASIC INSTINCT

Last ran winner performed excellently in a Happy Valley 1200m race four weeks ago, finishing strongly and maintaining a steady pace throughout before making up some ground in the closing stages to win. In his last run over 1200m on Sha Tin turf, he is carrying seven pounds more this time. Having lost all five previous starts in this race type, his prospects are slightly unfavorable as he has not shown outstanding finishing power. However, with a favorable draw and acceptable time indicators, he is worth keeping an eye on.
