Four weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace but no notable acceleration. He finished fifth, beaten three lengths. Now debuting in a straight course race after a change of stables, and stepping up to this distance for the first time, he needs to carry an additional 14 pounds this race. The distance appears suitable, and he’s drawn well, presenting a good situation. Trainer and jockey maintain a solid rapport, and the horse is expected to be competitive.
