SOARING BRONCOLast run winner, three weeks ago this horse delivered a very impressive performance over Sha Tin 1600m, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before unleashing a strong finishing kick in the final two sections to win. Now stepping up in class to Happy Valley mile for its first attempt at this distance, it benefits from a 15-pound weight reduction. It has the potential to track the leaders or even set the pace, draws a favorable barrier and appears in good form. Compared to other contenders, this horse possesses superior ability. Derek Leung takes the ride, with the jockey having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities. Despite the distance potentially not suiting its finishing speed and a less-than-ideal trainer-jockey dynamic, a clean break and willingness to track the pace should see it perform well.
