On August 29th, a turf trial over 1000m at Conghua saw the horse running relaxed and without pressure, showing limited improvement in its first trial of the season. This time needing to carry four extra pounds, it lacks a strong finishing kick and doesn’t have an advantageous draw. The trainer-jockey combination isn't ideal. Despite some past performance over this distance, the competition is relatively even. Drawing a good barrier allows for a forward run; however, a recent change of jockey to Matthew Poon suggests concerns about the horse's temperament, despite the new rider’s familiarity with its characteristics and late pre-race work.
