CERVIN

On March 27th, the horse recorded (dirt trial 1200m: 2-2-2), tracking the rail and maintaining a relaxed demeanor throughout, showing no signs of strain. On March 7th, during a Conghua turf trial over 1200m, it ran smoothly while staying close to the rail with consistent pace. Seven weeks ago, in a Sha Tin Turf race over 1800m, this horse performed poorly, missing the break and settling towards the rear. It managed to quicken in the second section but lacked stamina, resulting in a significant defeat. Following a short break, it has shown slight improvement in two barrier trials. Now debuting in Hong Kong, it will return to Happy Valley over a mile with an 18-pound weight increase, faces a time difference within its group and draws a poor barrier which is not favorable. The trainer and jockey haven't demonstrated strong synergy, however the horse has proven results at this distance and is expected to run from behind relying on a finishing kick. A jockey change sees Keagan De Melo take the reins; he’s known for his pace judgment, so caution is advised regarding potential tactics.
