On June 26th (dirt trial 1200m: 7-6-7), the horse was pushed along on the straight, showing limited improvement in pace. Six weeks ago, it ran a very disappointing race over Sha Tin turf at 1400m, with a slow jump and settling towards the back of the field. It made a mid-race effort but failed to close, resulting in a significant defeat. A subsequent barrier trial didn’t demonstrate any progress. Another dirt trial over 1200m was completed, this time with a one-pound weight reduction. Time comparisons within its group were unremarkable and it drew an outside barrier. The expectation is for the horse to settle towards the back again; however, its finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals, making its prospects unfavorable.
