On April 28th, a turf trial over 1000m at Conghua saw the horse track forward and maintain a good position with both early pace and finishing speed (4-2-2). On April 11th, another turf trial over 1200m at Conghua showed him settling in a mid-field position with a steady pace (3-3-3). Seven weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, he ran prominently, tracking the leaders and finishing with strong late sections to secure second place, beaten by just half a length. He has had a short break and two barrier trials recently with unremarkable performances. This time, he needs to carry six pounds more weight, despite good times within his group; while trainer-jockey combination is stable, drawing an outside barrier requires a hold-up tactic, but his finishing kick isn’t as strong as rivals making the situation less favorable, and a trailing pace may be necessary.
