ZOUPER FELLOW

On 14/10, this horse recorded a strong dirt trial over 1050m (sections 1-2-6), taking the lead and finishing well. Previously on 27/9, it trialed quickly over 1000m at Happy Valley (sections 1-1-3) but lacked stability in the final stages. A turf trial over 800m on 16/9 saw it pace quickly to near the front with a consistent run (sections 1-1-5). Most recently, on 2/9, another dirt trial over 1050m resulted in an easy lead (sections 1-2-8), though concentration appeared to be lacking. This is its debut as a new winner. It began training upon arrival in Hong Kong in mid-November last year. Four trials have been undertaken this season with moderate results; it displays strong early speed but tires easily, suggesting a preference for shorter distances. While showing positive signs in morning work, it's advisable to assess its performance after one race before making further judgements.
