NEZHA

On September 23rd, (dirt trial 1200m: 4-5-5) rounding the final bend in fourth position and maintaining a steady speed down the straight. This is the horse's debut this season; one barrier trial has been completed but wasn’t fully extended. Making its stable transfer debut, it benefits from a four-pound weight reduction this race but draws an outside barrier requiring a hold-up strategy. The finishing kick was weaker than rivals and the unfavorable position makes this challenging, however, the overall time for the group was reasonable and should not be discounted.
