Four weeks ago, this horse ran over a Sha Tin 1800m, jumping slowly and settling towards the back but maintaining a steady pace without a strong surge. A subsequent trial over 1600m at Sha Tin sees the horse enter this race with a two-pound weight reduction. Despite having performed well over this distance previously and showing good times in its group, it has drawn an inside barrier and is expected to be held up in the early stages; however, possesses a strong finishing kick. Compared to other runners, its ability stands out as superior within the field. Karis Teetan takes the ride, with the jockey understanding the horse’s temperament well. Trackwork has been positive, though the current circumstances aren't ideal and trainer-jockey synergy is lacking, likely resulting in a hold-up strategy.
