March 24th, a turf trial at Conghua over 1000m saw the horse respond well to urging after entering the final turn (positions 3-3-1). Seven weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse performed poorly, missing the break and settling towards the rear before attempting a mid-race move but failing to catch up, finishing well-beaten. A subsequent barrier trial showed slight improvement. This race sees a four-pound weight reduction and an outside draw; a hold-up tactic is anticipated, though its finishing kick may not match rivals, presenting a challenging scenario. However, comparable times within the group suggest it shouldn’t be dismissed.
