SEWARD

Ten days ago, this horse ran poorly over 1400m on Sha Tin turf, tracking the leaders in a good position but fading in the final stages to finish badly. In his subsequent attempt over 1600m on Sha Tin turf, this was his first run over the distance, and the trip did not suit him; he showed no outstanding time, was at a disadvantage from position, and lacked a noticeable finishing kick. The cooperation between jockey and trainer also appeared lacking, making it difficult to expect much from him.
