On 10/3, during a turf trial at Conghua over 1000m, the horse showed a strong jump and led impressively. Six weeks ago, in a similar race, it performed poorly, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a finishing surge and finished well-beaten. A recent barrier trial showed slight improvement. This time, carrying an 8lb weight reduction, facing tough competition within its group and drawing a difficult barrier, the horse is expected to race from behind, though it possesses strong finishing speed amongst its rivals, success appears unlikely.
