SOLAR RIVERFour weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over 1200m at Happy Valley, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace before being overtaken by Super Wealth. He finished sixth, beaten half a length. Switching to dirt over 1200m for his first attempt at this distance, he needs to carry one pound more this time. Despite a favorable situation, Antoine Hamelin takes the ride, understanding the horse’s weaknesses; however, the distance is unsuitable and requires a hold-up strategy. The finishing kick isn't strong enough to compete with rivals, and there appears to be a lack of synergy between jockey and trainer – a different pairing might suit him better.
