Two weeks ago, this horse ran below expectations over a Sha Tin 1800m, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before making up ground with fast final sections. In a subsequent trial over 2000m on turf, it will race two pounds lighter this time but faces unfavorable competition timings and has drawn an outside barrier. Despite having won twice at this distance previously, a hold-up tactic is expected, relying on a strong finishing kick. A gate breeze suggests the horse is recovering well, showing some reluctance to leave the stalls."
