Two weeks ago (April 15th), a turf trial over 1000m at Conghua showed an unpromising performance during the jockey’s assessment. This horse was last seen winning, running well over this distance two months prior while settling in a good position tracking the leaders and displaying strong acceleration to take the win. Following a short break, a recent barrier trial didn't impress. Stepping up in class for this race, he benefits from a 5-pound weight reduction. He has four wins from seven starts over this distance, with respectable times against his group. Drawing a favorable barrier, the plan is to settle him back in the field and rely on his finishing kick. In good form after increased training, he appears a strong contender for a repeat victory.
