RUN RUN SMART

On August 29th, this horse recorded a turf trial over 1200m at Conghua finishing first and second in the sections but weakening in the final 100 meters. Returning after a long break, this is his seasonal debut. One barrier trial has been undertaken without significant performance shown. He has dropped 48 pounds in body weight and carries a five-pound deduction this time. His section times are good compared to others in the group, with a favorable barrier draw. The plan is to settle back in the field, showing a decent finishing kick. Overall, his form appears promising, and he possesses superior ability compared to the rest of the field. The jockey has some understanding of the horse’s capabilities. Despite four previous losses over this distance, the trainer-jockey combination could still be influential.
