On June 27th, this horse completed a turf trial over 1200m at Conghua (sections: 7-7-7), settling towards the rear and maintaining a steady pace. Four weeks ago in a similar distance trial, the performance was below expectations; a slow jump led to settling back in the field but showed a strong late run. A previous barrier trial revealed a lack of progress keeping up with the leaders. This time carrying a three-pound weight reduction, he’s drawn a poor barrier which is unfavourable. Trainer and jockey are not considered a strong pairing despite comparable times within the group; a likely hold-up tactics will be employed, relying on a strong finishing kick. Luke Ferraris takes the ride, demonstrating some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, though no specific plan seems apparent.
