On April 29th (dirt trial 1200m: 9-7-6), the horse was ridden early on, conserving energy while tracking. Four weeks ago in a similar distance trial, it performed reasonably well; a slow jump led to settling at the rear, with an effortful push in the middle section and a strong finish. A single barrier trial hasn’t fully revealed its potential. This time, without any weight reduction, drawing an outside barrier is unfavorable, but the overall timing of this group isn't too bad, giving it a chance to run quickly.
