The recent trial on {13/3} (dirt, 1200m) saw this newcomer circling wide and taking the win comfortably. A strong performance last start over 2000m on the Sha Tin turf demonstrated considerable ability – a slightly slow start saw it settle towards the rear before unleashing a fast-finishing run to victory. Another trial over 1800m on the turf suggests further improvement. This time, despite the win, only a 3lb rise in weight is imposed. A good draw would be beneficial given its likely hold-up tactic; this horse appears to possess the strongest finishing kick within its group and presents in good form. The jockey is gaining familiarity with the mount, and trainer/jockey combination inspires confidence. However, relative times among competitors suggest a place showing is more realistic than an outright win at this stage.
