On April 15th, a turf trial over 1200m at Conghua saw the horse lead comfortably and maintain second position under strong riding. Seven weeks prior to this, in a similar distance race, performance was poor; he led easily with a steady pace but lacked a finishing kick, finishing fourth, beaten by one and a half lengths. Following a short break, a recent barrier trial showed moderate form. This time benefiting from a two-pound weight reduction, having proven record over this distance, drawing a favorable barrier, and the opportunity to lead, he appears in good shape. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride; trainer and jockey are known to work well together. Despite slower sectionals recorded during training, a clean break should allow him to secure a forward position and contend for a place."
