CHANCHENG GLORY

Ran a Sha Tin turf 1200m barrier trial on 21/9 (8-8-9), falling further behind as the race progressed and finishing trailing. On 7/9, he jumped out clumsily in a Sha Tin turf 1200m barrier trial (9-9-9) and was far behind. Returning after a long layoff for his first run of the season, he previously ran over 1600m on Sha Tin turf in April with a poor performance, tracking the leaders but still showing some late impetus. Two recent trials showed no improvement. Now running in a non-stakes race, switching to a mile on dirt for the first time; his early pace in this group was acceptable and he has an advantageous draw. The jockey is confident with the horse, and preparations have been thorough. Despite carrying 8 extra pounds in this race, a slightly unfavorable position, and somewhat lacking late acceleration, he remains worth considering as an outside chance.
