VULCANUS

Seven days ago, this horse ran poorly over 1400m on Sha Tin turf, tracking the pace throughout but lacking a strong run and finishing badly. He subsequently attempted 1200m on Sha Tin turf, failing in all seven starts; his time figures are weak, and the conditions were unfavorable. Running late under pressure, his finishing kick may not match that of his rivals, and the jockey-trainer combination isn't ideal. However, he showed decent form in morning work, and with a one-pound weight allowance this time, it might be worth considering.
