Two weeks ago, the horse performed respectably on the dirt mile, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before showing a strong late run. Returning to Sha Tin over 2000m this time, it will carry an additional 16 pounds. A hold-up tactic is expected, with a decent finishing kick anticipated. Hugh Bowman takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities. The horse has matured in its recent work and shown improvement, though unfavorable timing within the group and a less harmonious trainer-jockey relationship are concerns; however, connections believe it's ready to run well.
