On August 26th (dirt trial 1200m: 8-8-7), the horse was held back and eased through the straight. This is his debut run this season, following one barrier trial where he didn't fully extend himself. Another turf trial over 1200m at Sha Tin saw him carrying an additional three pounds this time. He has yet to win in three starts over this distance, finishing behind other horses in sectional timing. He was held up in the run but lacked a strong finishing kick, making his overall form questionable; however, surprisingly AI algorithms suggest potential for a good showing and a placing is not unexpected.
