March 10th, during a Conghua turf trial over 1000m, the horse jumped slightly slow but settled into a comfortable rhythm. A recent winner, seven weeks ago it impressively won over the same distance leading from start to finish with continued momentum in the final stages, winning by two and a half lengths. A subsequent barrier trial didn't quite match expectations. Stepping up in class for this race, the horse receives an eight-pound weight reduction and has previously recorded two wins at this distance. The time figures are respectable, suggesting it can keep pace with the frontrunners, potentially adopting a leading or stalking position. Drawing a favorable barrier and with the jockey having some understanding of the horse’s capabilities, trainer and rider appear aligned; a clean break and commitment to tracking the pace should see it perform well.
