FORERUNNER

Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over 1200m on Sha Tin turf, slow to get away and saving ground, maintaining a steady pace throughout before slowly closing in for an unplaced finish. In his return run over 1200m on Happy Valley turf, he performed creditably with an acceptable time and drew a good barrier. His late run was strong among his competitors, earning him a high rating for this race. The jockey has a good understanding of the horse's temperament, and the trainer-jockey pairing is quite harmonious. His morning work continues to show promise, suggesting he is capable of another win.
