Three weeks ago, this horse ran impressively over Sha Tin 1200m, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before making a strong run in the final two sections with fast times. He finished seventh, beaten three lengths. Now stepping up to Sha Tin 1400m for the first time, racing without any weight reduction, the distance increase is expected to suit him. Drawing an inside barrier, a hold-up tactic is anticipated and his finishing kick should be competitive within the field; he possesses a higher level of ability compared to other contenders. Hugh Bowman takes the ride, with some understanding of the horse's capabilities, and trainer/jockey rapport appears good. Final fast work showed positive signs and smooth entry into the gate.
