UNBEATEN Conte continued his rise through the grades with a professional win in the Class 2 Kwong Wah Handicap over a mile at Sha Tin last Saturday but trainer John Size indicated the four-year-old may now take a break before he attempts to make it six in a row.

Conte, who had found himself in a pace-setting role in most of his wins to date, instead was amongst the chasing bunch, settling third under jockey Joao Moreira behind fellow four-year-olds Lockheed and Dragon Lips.
