Three weeks ago, this horse ran over a Sha Tin 1800m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a strong turn of foot. Now dropping back to Happy Valley for a longer distance race, it's his first attempt at this trip. He needs to carry 16 pounds more this time, a distance which should suit him and allow him to stay competitive with the frontrunners. He is capable of pressing the pace, has secured a good barrier draw, and underwent gate work practice suggesting readiness; a clean jump and willingness to track the leaders should see him finish among the leading contenders.
