On 2/9, this horse recorded (dirt trial 1050m: 3-3-6), showing eagerness around the bend and getting blocked in the straight. On 21/8 (Conghua dirt trial 1050m: 5-5-5), it showed a steady pace but lacked brilliance. A turf trial over 1000m on 28/4 at Conghua saw a consistent performance (4-3-7). After a long break, this is the horse’s seasonal debut. Three barrier trials have been undertaken without reaching desired progress. This time carrying a two-pound weight reduction, the overall section times of its group are unremarkable and the draw isn't ideal. Trainer-jockey combination appears less harmonious; however, the horse has previously recorded results over this distance and benefits from a favourable barrier position to potentially adopt a forward racing tactic. A clean jump is crucial to maintain pace.
