Two weeks ago, this horse ran a disappointing race over 1800m on the dirt track, settling in a good position tracking the leaders before fading noticeably in the middle stages. Now trying Sha Tin turf over 2000m, it will carry two pounds more this time. The distance is unfavorable and its finishing kick is weak, presenting an unfavorable situation with a trainer-jockey combination that doesn’t seem to gel well. However, drawing a good barrier provides opportunity to lead. Angus Chung takes the ride, a jockey known for adapting to his mounts; if it jumps cleanly and commits to leading, improvement is expected.
