OWNERS' PRAISEA month ago, the horse delivered a strong performance over Sha Tin’s 1600m, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before accelerating rapidly in the final two sections. A subsequent run at Happy Valley over a mile sees the horse carrying a two-pound weight reduction. Despite three previous failures over this distance, the time difference within its group isn't significant, but the barrier draw is considered favorable. The trainer-jockey combination hasn’t been particularly successful, yet the good gate position suggests a hold-up tactic. This horse possesses the strongest finishing kick in its class and will now be ridden by Dong Minglang, who has some familiarity with the animal’s capabilities; however, there appears to be no clear strategy.
