Following a promising run over 1800m on the Sha Tin turf last start, where the horse settled in a good position and showed decent speed throughout a steadily-run race, connections are now stepping up to 2000m. Importantly, this time the gelding escapes a weight penalty. However, the extended trip appears unfavourable, and while a forward position is likely, a positive showing hinges on observing another run to gauge its suitability for this distance.
