MAGIC CONTROL

Three weeks ago, the horse had a standout performance over 1200m on Sha Tin turf, running strongly in the rear, progressing steadily along the way, and closing to challenge at the finish to secure second place, beaten only half a length. Stepping up in class, he tested himself in a sprint race again this time carrying eight pounds less. With three wins from ten starts, his time figures remain respectable, and his closing speed in this company is strong. Overall assessment places him among the top contenders, with the jockey possessing a good understanding of the horse's temperament and preparing seriously to contend for the win.
