SOLID STATE

Three weeks ago, the horse delivered an excellent performance in a straight-up race, tracking well near the front to secure second place. He finished just half a length behind, indicating high class. In his subsequent Sha Tin trial over 1200m, he showed good form and timed well with his stablemate. He can hold a favorable forward position in this race, making him the strongest contender based on ratings for this contest. The pairing of horse and jockey, along with the trainer's strategy, looks in sync, giving him good chances to win again.
