Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a strong performance over Sha Tin’s 1200m, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before making up ground with fast sections in the final two furlongs. He finished fifth, beaten by one and a half lengths. In a subsequent trial over 1400m on turf, he will carry an additional two pounds this time. Having shown form over this distance and recording comparable times to rivals, a hold-up strategy utilizing his finishing kick could prove effective; the horse appears in good shape and is worth considering.
