On August 25th, during a turf trial at Conghua over 1200m (9-7-8), the horse returned within the pack without showing significant ability. This is his first run of the season; a previous barrier trial revealed he wasn’t fully prepared. He carries only a one-pound weight increase for this race, having shown good form over this distance previously and recording strong section times alongside its rivals. Drawing an inside barrier, the plan is to settle back in the field and rely on a finishing kick, which appears to be his strongest attribute compared to others in the group. Connections are confident in his overall strength relative to the competition; trainer and jockey appear to have faith in each other, and he's currently showing good form.
