On September 8th (Conghua turf trial 1200m: 7-7-8), the horse jumped awkwardly and responded only moderately under urging. On August 29th (Conghua turf trial 1000m: 10-7-7), he also broke slowly, tracking a few lengths behind the field with an uninspiring pace. A dirt trial over 1200m on June 24th saw him urged late but showing limited improvement (6-6-5). Another dirt trial over 1050m on June 12th was unremarkable, circling wide on the turn (5-5-7). After a long spell, this is his seasonal debut. He has undergone four barrier trials and hasn't fully shown his potential yet. This is his first start after switching stables; he receives a three-pound weight reduction this time but is expected to be held up in the field. However, his finishing kick may not match rivals and the overall situation isn’t favorable. Fortunately, times within the group weren’t significantly worse, warranting further observation.
