MAJESTIC EXPRESS

On April 10th, this horse impressed in a dirt trial over 1050m, taking the lead and finishing strongly. Four weeks prior, over the same distance, it delivered a noteworthy performance despite a slow start, settling towards the rear before accelerating through the final two sections with good speed to secure third place, beaten by only one and a half lengths – a respectable showing. A subsequent barrier trial indicated further improvement. This time, it carries an additional three pounds, has proven form over this distance, and faces competitive times within its group. The tactics will likely involve settling back in the field before unleashing a strong finishing kick; overall, the horse appears to be in good shape. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, demonstrating some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, and trainer-jockey relationship is solid, suggesting it has potential to challenge for first place.
