FIVE G PATCH

On April 8th, a turf trial over 1600m saw the horse urged forward but not returning to its previous form. On March 13th, a dirt trial at Conghua over 1200m under relaxed riding yielded an unremarkable performance, falling short of expectations. Eight weeks ago, in a Sha Tin race over 2000m, the horse’s performance was not outstanding; it jumped slowly and settled towards the back before making a mid-race move but ultimately faded near the finish line. Following a break, two barrier trials showed no improvement. Now debuting in Hong Kong, this horse will try Sha Tin over 1800m again, needing to carry nine extra pounds. The plan is to race from behind, however, its finishing speed is likely inferior to rivals and the overall situation appears unfavorable; even with comparable section times, it’s not a leading contender for this race.
