SKY DEEP

On 31/8, in a Sha Tin turf barrier trial over 1200m (6-6-3), the horse started slowly but pushed forward with a strong ride. This is his first start this season; eight weeks ago, he performed exceptionally well in the same race, showing plenty of class to secure second place, beaten only half a length. After taking a trial run, he showed slight improvement. This time, with a five-pound weight allowance, his suitability for the group is good, and his position matches the race dynamics. He drew a favourable barrier draw, possesses early speed potential, and based on overall assessment, he ranks highly among the field. The jockey and trainer have excellent chemistry, and he has been diligently preparing in training, making him a strong contender.
