CALIFORNIA BANNEROn September 5th, (dirt trial 1200m: 2-4-3), the horse was pressured around the turn and required urging over the final two furlongs to finish third. This is its seasonal debut following a barrier trial showing slight improvement. Another turf trial over 1200m at Sha Tin was completed, where it will carry an additional two pounds this time. The time difference within its group suggests it's not the fastest, and drawing an outside barrier necessitates a trailing pace. However, finishing kick wasn’t strong enough in the previous trial and despite a good trainer-jockey combination and late work, it doesn’t appear to be a leading contender for this race.
