A month ago, the horse ran a moderate race over 2000m on the Sha Tin turf, tracking the pace setters and making a move in the middle stages but failing to sustain it to the finish, ultimately finishing fourth, beaten by one and a half lengths. Now stepping down to 1800m at Happy Valley, the horse is required to carry an additional pound this time. While the distance appears suitable and drawing a good barrier with potential for an early lead, it possesses the strongest finishing kick in its group. Trainer and jockey are working well together, and preparations have been thorough, combining several positive factors. However, AI analysis suggests its winning chances are less than those of its rivals, likely to be a place contender.
