LIFELINE EXPRESS

Two weeks ago, this horse performed creditably over a Happy Valley 1200m, though it jumped slowly and ran from the rear; its pace was average throughout, gradually regaining ground in the final stages. In its previous Sha Tin 1200m run, the prospects were not ideal, and there wasn't a distinct synergy between the jockey and trainer. However, it tracked from the back again, possessing the strongest finishing kick in its field; having won twice previously on this course, it could be a dark horse contender.
