NUCLEOZORThis New Zealand PP (MA288, predicted rating 90) arrives in Hong Kong as a three-time winner from three starts abroad, including one valuable race. The horse appears to thrive when leading or racing prominently, showcasing strong acceleration. Recent barrier trial form has been encouraging: finishing sixth of six over the dirt 1200m on {11/3} with a reasonable response after being urged; a clear second in a 1200m Happy Valley turf trial on {15/2}, taking the lead and showing continued effort to the line; seventh of seven then finishing second over the dirt 1200m on {7/2}, making up ground late having been slow to break; fifth of six over 1000m on the turf on {21/1} settling mid-pack with restrained early speed; and tenth of fourteen in a Happy Valley 1200m trial on {10/1}, showing an active pace but weakening near the finish. Given this consistent form across five trials, this debutant looks to have been prepared well and possesses the potential to be competitive against its rivals.
