BEAUTY THUNDER

Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Happy Valley 1200m, tracking the leaders and maintaining a good position. He showed a strong effort in the middle stages with sustained momentum, finishing only three lengths behind, securing sixth place. Another turf trial over a shorter distance at Happy Valley is scheduled, this time with a three-pound weight reduction. The timing compared to other horses is reasonable, and drawing a favorable barrier enhances his chances. Relative to competitors, he demonstrates clear strength advantages; horse, jockey and trainer are well matched, making him a good each-way contender.
