Seven weeks ago, this horse ran well over Sha Tin 1400m, jumping moderately and settling towards the rear before finishing with a strong run to secure third place, beaten two lengths. Following a break, a recent dirt trial (1200m: 4-4-6) showed no acceleration upon entering the turn. Now stepping back to Happy Valley over a mile with a two-pound weight reduction and an advantageous barrier draw, the horse is expected to race from behind, possessing the strongest finishing kick in its group. Connections believe this horse is the most competitive contender in the race, with good synergy between jockey, trainer and horse – suggesting a strong chance of taking the lead.
