MR DESIRA

Five weeks ago, this horse showed decent form in a short Happy Valley race, sprinting well but fading slightly in the final stages. Fortunately, he wasn't far behind, finishing three and a half lengths back. Switching to Sha Tin over 1200m for his debut in this distance, the trip didn't suit him; his late drive was somewhat inferior. The jockey and trainer combination wasn't ideal, though his early speed allowed him to take initiative and secure a position, presenting some favorable circumstances, but he didn't see an opportunity to challenge.
