WORLD HERO

Three weeks ago, this horse performed well in a Sha Tin 1200m run, tracking near the rear but finishing only three and a half lengths behind, showing high class. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m this time with a one-pound allowance, he has won twice in this trip. Drawing a favorable barrier draw, he can maintain a good forward position. The jockey has a reasonable feel for the horse's temperament, though his time performance hasn't been outstanding and his finishing kick is slightly lacking; he could be a dark horse pick.
