NORTHERN FIRE BALLThree weeks ago, this horse ran a decent race over a Happy Valley sprint, jumping slowly and settling towards the back. It showed a strong late surge but was still beaten three and a half lengths. In a subsequent trial over 1200m at Happy Valley, it now needs to carry six extra pounds in this race. The distance suits, rivals are in good form, and drawing a favourable barrier gives it a chance to lead. It possesses the strongest finishing kick among its competitors and appears well-positioned for success. Based on its ability, it is the standout horse in this field. Jerry Chau takes the ride, understanding the horse’s capabilities, and pre-race preparations have been thorough. A clean break and an intent to take the lead should see it perform well.
