SILVERY BREEZE

8/9 (Dirt Trial 1200m: 6-7-9) pressed the straight but seemed hesitant, and in his last run on 24/8 (Sha Tin Turf Trial 1200m: 10-10-10), he remained towards the rear, showing little ambition. This is his initial run of the season; two months ago, he performed outstandingly over 1600m on Sha Tin turf. He ran steadily throughout, maintaining his position and making up significant ground in the closing stages to finish second, beaten only by half a length. After two barrier trials, he has not yet been tested at full strength. In this race, running over a Happy Valley mile, he has won twice before. His time in this specific company is decent; if he adopts a rearward running style, his closing speed within the field is among the strongest. Overall assessment places him amongst the leaders in the field, and the jockey has a good rapport with the horse. However, he faces an extra 12 pounds in this race, slightly unfavorable conditions, and a poor draw, though he remains a main contender for the win.
