METAL KINGOn March 14th (Happy Valley turf trial, 1200m: 7-7-4), the horse showed a comfortable stride while tracking. On February 15th (Happy Valley turf trial, 1200m: 3-5-10), it lacked its usual form and didn’t impress. On March 10th (turf trial, 1000m: 10-10-8), the jump was moderate with a mild push over the final two sections. This is the horse's debut race after arriving in Hong Kong following initial training in early September last year. It has completed four barrier trials this season with unremarkable performances; its stride is low and somewhat narrow, lacking acceleration. The horse maintains a steady pace and is likely suited to distances of 1400m to one mile. Given this is its first run, it may not be at peak fitness and further observation after one race is recommended.
