MASTER CHAMPION

On April 10th, a dirt trial over 1200m saw the horse travel comfortably in second place for all sections, with the jockey reporting further potential at the finish. On March 7th, during a turf trial over 1000m at Conghua, it had a slow start but quickly settled into second position, showing reasonable performance. Another turf trial at Conghua on March 10th saw the horse move through the field to an encouraging position. This is its Hong Kong debut. An Australian PP, with a MA288 predicted rating of 53. It has shown slight improvement across three barrier trials this season. In seven overseas races, it achieved one win, four seconds and one third, never finishing last. The horse typically tracks the leaders or sits on pace but doesn't possess a particularly strong final burst. Originally slated to race in mid-March, it was withdrawn due to a minor hoof issue, however training continued uninterrupted with additional barrier trials showing improvement. If the pace is slow and it jumps cleanly, a forward approach should see it perform well.
