CALIFORNIA STAROn April 8th, the horse completed a dirt trial over 1200m, running 6-6-4 – settling back early before being urged to accelerate from the 200m mark. Following a recent win four weeks ago over the same distance, it delivered a solid performance despite a slow start and trailing position, ultimately winning with a strong finish. A subsequent barrier trial showed acceptable form. This time, the horse needs to carry six pounds more; its record at this distance is respectable, and times within the group are good. Drawing an inside barrier suggests a hold-up strategy utilizing its strong finishing kick – potentially the best in the field. The jockey and trainer combination appears effective, with the horse improving with each run, though the overall situation isn’t entirely favorable for success. A suitable pairing is key.
