STORM RIDEROn September 8th, during a dirt trial at Conghua over 1200m (sections: 7-6-1), the horse showed good gate speed and finished strongly from an outside position. On August 27th, in a dirt trial also over 1200m (sections: 6-6-1), he angled for an inside rail during the straight and made headway. This is his seasonal debut after two trials demonstrating improvement. He will race after being dropped in class, returning to Sha Tin turf over 1200m. He faces a 20lb weight increase this time despite having previous form over the distance; the timing looks good relative to its competition. Considering its overall ability, it’s considered relatively strong and Zac Purton takes the ride, indicating some jockey confidence in the horse's potential. The trainer and jockey have a good relationship. However, even if forced to race from behind, the finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals and the situation isn’t entirely favorable; showing plenty of spirit.
