Three weeks ago, over Sha Tin 1400m, the horse underperformed. It jumped slowly and settled towards the back before making a move in the middle stages but faded towards the finish. Switching to a straight course race and running this distance for the first time, it benefits from a one-pound weight reduction and an advantageous barrier draw. The tactics will be to settle back and rely on a strong finishing kick – considered the best in its group. With favorable conditions and superior ability compared to other contenders, it’s expected to be competitive.
