HANDSOME BLONDOn April 8th, a turf trial over 1000m saw this horse break moderately, slightly urged at the 200m mark and showing good response. On March 25th, a dirt trial over 1050m resulted in a strong start with a second-place finish after being tested on the straight. A Happy Valley turf trial on March 14th saw a slow break but an outside run on the straight, finishing with a determined chase. Another Conghua turf trial over 800m on February 14th showed a sensitive mouth and comfortable pace, while a further Conghua grass trial over 800m on January 24th saw the horse settling towards the rear before making some ground. This is its debut run as a new winner; it began training in Hong Kong at the end of October last year. It has undergone five barrier trials this season showing gradual improvement. A smaller-sized horse with a low stride, it possesses good short-distance speed and lands powerfully, demonstrating willingness to chase. Despite being lightly framed, it responds well to riding and shows quality, potentially posing a challenge to rivals even without peak fitness.
