Following a strong performance over 1400m on the Sha Tin turf in its last outing, this horse displayed good late speed despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. Now stepping up to a mile for the first time, and benefiting from a two-pound weight drop, the distance is expected to suit. Drawn favorably with an inside barrier, a similar hold-up tactic looks likely – suggesting significant finishing power within this group. The jockey appears to be gaining confidence in the horse's ability, though there’s a suggestion of trainer/jockey dynamic not quite clicking. A place finish is certainly achievable.
