On August 29th, during a turf trial at Conghua over 1200m (sections: 8-10-10), the horse displayed temperament issues in the gate and raced towards the rear throughout. This is his first trial of the season and showed no noticeable improvement. He benefits from a two-pound weight reduction this time, with strong times recorded by horses in the same group. The instructions are to settle back in the field and rely on a finishing kick; he appears well-positioned. Based on relative ability, he’s considered the strongest contender in this race, and trainer/jockey have confidence.
