STRAIGHT TO GLORY

On April 29th (dirt trial 1050m: 5-3-1), the horse was slightly slow to jump but made steady progress throughout the sections, finishing with a strong finish to win. On April 8th (turf trial 1000m: 6-2-9), it experienced crowding at the start and showed no response to urging from the jockey. On March 25th (turf trial 1000m: 7-4-2), the jump was average, with a two-section increase in pace but lacked a final kick. On March 4th (dirt trial 1200m: 5-3-5), it jumped well and pushed forward on the turn, though its stride softened in the straight. This is the horse’s debut as a new arrival, having begun training in early January after import. It has undergone four trials this season showing improvement with each run. The horse exhibits a slightly high action but displays good speed over shorter distances, suitable for 1200m to 1400m races; it shows willingness to chase and lands well on its feet. Worth following in this first-up start.
