Seven weeks ago, this horse recorded (Conghua turf trial 1000m: 5-7-7), lacking early speed but finishing closer to the front. Eight weeks prior, he delivered a strong performance over Sha Tin’s 1800m, jumping moderately and settling towards the rear before accelerating in the final two sections with fast times. Following a short break, a recent barrier trial showed insufficient preparation. Another turf trial over 1400m saw him receive an eleven-pound weight reduction but facing a time difference within his group and drawing an unfavorable outside barrier; he’s not considered to be competitive in this race.
