GOLDEN DARCIOn September 8th, during a turf trial at Conghua over 1200m, the horse ran competently while racing near the rail. On June 27th, in another turf trial at Conghua over 1000m, he appeared weaker when running relaxed. Returning from a long break, this is his seasonal debut. Two barrier trials have been completed, but he hasn’t shown enough improvement in pace. He needs to carry eight pounds more this time, with a slower time compared to other horses in the same group and drawing a poor barrier. A hold-up strategy will be employed; however, his finishing kick isn't as strong as rivals, resulting in an unfavorable position. Despite this, he has previously won twice at this distance and trainer/jockey have confidence in each other, anticipating a competitive race and conserving resources.
