BEAUTY BOLT

Three weeks ago, the horse ran disappointingly over 1200m on Sha Tin turf; his start was slow, he settled towards the rear, and maintained an even pace throughout with a mediocre run. In his subsequent attempt over 1400m on Sha Tin turf, his time indicated a weak performance, and his closing power was slightly lacking. The jockey-trainer combination was not ideal, but he managed to maintain a good position near the front and has shown capability in this race, making him worth noting.
