On March 21st, during a dirt trial over 1200m (sections of 10-9-2), the horse was slightly urged forward from the middle stages, making progress. On March 11th, in another dirt trial over 1200m (sections of 7-7-3), it broke slowly and settled towards the rear before accelerating from the 200m mark along the rail. Five weeks ago, it ran a moderate race on Sha Tin turf over 2000m, with a slow start and settling back in the field, showing some acceleration mid-race but failing to sustain it to the finish. Two barrier trials have shown slight improvement. Making its Hong Kong debut, it will now race again on Sha Tin turf over 1600m, benefiting from a three-pound weight reduction. Having secured two wins at this distance previously and with good form within the field, a hold-up tactic is expected to showcase its strong finishing kick – considered the best among its rivals. The engagement of Zac Purton suggests a positive trainer-jockey combination with careful preparation. However, the draw isn't ideal, suggesting a need to conserve energy early on.
