On March 28th, a turf trial at Conghua over 1200m saw the horse lacking early speed and making up ground in the final stages. Four weeks ago, it delivered an excellent performance on Sha Tin turf over 2000m, jumping slowly but finishing strongly with fast sections. A subsequent barrier trial showed no improvement. Now stepping back to a longer Happy Valley race for its first attempt at this distance, the horse benefits from a four-pound weight reduction, however, the increased distance is not ideal and the trainer-jockey combination isn't strong. Despite drawing a good barrier, the jockey has limited confidence in the horse’s ability; it's best to assess its performance in this race first.
