TACTICAL COMMAND

On September 12th (Conghua turf trial 1200m: 5-6-7), the horse settled mid-pack and ran comfortably. On August 29th (Conghua turf trial 1200m: 5-4-4), he tracked the leaders and showed good form, maintaining a strong condition. This is his seasonal debut. Two trials have been completed without showing full effort. Stepping up in class, returning to Sha Tin over 1200m this time with a 15lb weight reduction. His trial time was comparable to horses in the same group; however, he may need to be held up in this race as his finishing kick isn’t strong enough against rivals. The situation isn't ideal, but having proven form over this distance and drawing an inside barrier, with Alexis Badel taking the ride, the horse/jockey combination has potential for improvement.
