On June 24th, (dirt trial 1200m: 5-6-2) moved out on the turn with good momentum. On May 5th, (Conghua dirt trial 1200m: 4-3-3) had a slightly slow start but accelerated gradually in the straight. Last run winner seven weeks ago over a dirt mile, running impressively despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear before finishing with fast sections to take victory. Two trials show slight improvement. This time stepping up to Sha Tin over 1400m, this horse will carry an additional eleven pounds. He has failed to win in three previous attempts over this distance, and his sectionals are not competitive compared to rivals. The strategy is likely to be settling towards the rear again, but finishing kick may not match opponents. However, drawing an advantageous inside barrier and a good trainer-jockey relationship provide some optimism for defending its title."
