On June 12th (dirt trial 1200m, running positions 4-3-5), the horse responded well with good power on the straight. On May 23rd (Conghua turf trial 1600m, running positions 4-4-4-8), he showed an average response when urged mid-straight. On May 8th (Conghua dirt trial 1200m, running positions 5-4-3), he made steady progress with moderate urging on the straight. Three months ago in a race over the same distance, this horse displayed impressive form despite a slow jump, settling towards the rear and finishing strongly in the final two sections. After a short break, three barrier trials have been completed without showing significant improvement. This time, carrying a four-pound weight reduction, a hold-up tactic is planned, but his finishing kick may not be sufficient to compete with rivals. Even if the times are comparable within the group, his chances appear limited.
