AKASHVANIOn May 12th (dirt trial 1200m: 5-5-3), the horse moved up to third position during the final turn. Four weeks ago, over a Sha Tin mile, the performance was below expectations, settling in a good position tracking the leaders at a steady pace but unable to mount a strong challenge and finished fourth. A barrier trial showed slight improvement. This time switching to Sha Tin over 1400m for its debut at this distance, with no weight penalty, the increased distance is expected to suit. It has potential for an early lead, possesses a strong finishing kick within the group, and enjoys advantageous positioning. Considering its ability compared to other contenders, it appears superior. The jockey understands how to control the horse’s pace, however despite drawing an outside barrier, trainer-jockey compatibility isn't ideal. A clean break is crucial for an immediate forward run.
