LUCKY FIONNOn April 25th, a turf trial over 1200m at Conghua saw the horse settling in midfield and showing weakness. Seven weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1600m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a strong finishing pace. A subsequent barrier trial revealed it hadn’t fully extended itself. Another turf trial over 1400m was completed, and this time he will carry one pound more weight in this race. He has previous form over this distance and recorded good times against its group rivals. He is expected to settle towards the rear, with a strong finishing kick being his main asset; the barrier draw is advantageous. Compared to other contenders, the horse possesses superior ability. Jockey Keagan De Melo takes the ride, demonstrating some understanding of the horse's capabilities. Pre-race gatework and increased training intensity suggest they are preparing for a serious run.
