On May 8th, recorded a fast-paced dirt trial over 1200m (sections 1-1-5), maintaining good speed throughout the final section. On April 28th, completed a turf trial at Conghua over 1000m (sections 4-4-6) as a fitness test after a long break. Prior to August, ran poorly in a dirt race over 1200m, slow start and settled towards the rear with a strong pull but ultimately lost badly. Returning from a spell, two barrier trials have shown no significant improvement. This will be his first run on the straight course, carrying a four-pound weight reduction this time, with previous form over this distance being competitive, posting the fastest time amongst its group. The draw is favorable; expect to settle towards the rear and rely on a strong finishing kick – the strongest in the field. Overall, he has a clear advantage in this race. Jockey Jerry Chau replaces the rider, having some understanding of the horse’s capabilities and looking to save resources for the finish.
