DRAGON AIR FORCE

Making his seasonal debut, the horse ran a very disappointing race over 1400m on Sha Tin turf three months ago, running in the rear with a consistent pace and unremarkable form. In his subsequent straight-course run, he will carry an extra eight pounds this time; facing a speed disadvantage in the same group, his prospects are somewhat hampered, with a slightly inferior finishing kick and not ideal jockey-trainer coordination, making his chances low.
