ZETA HEDGE

On September 26th, this horse finished third in a dirt trial over 1050m showing consistent improvement. On September 16th, he led throughout a turf trial over 800m along the outside rail but drifted inwards towards the finish. This is his debut run as a new arrival, having begun training in Hong Kong in late November of last year. He has had two barrier trials this season, demonstrating progress. He exhibits a low action and quick footwork with early speed and willingness to accelerate at the end. Suited to shorter distances, he could also handle 1200m. Despite being slightly underprepared for peak performance in this race, a commitment to lead should give him a chance.
