STAR FIGURE

On 9/10, the horse recorded (dirt trial 1200m: 5-6-5), showing moderate force with a light ride. On 26/9 at Conghua (turf trial 1000m: 7-6-1) it made a late effort in the middle stages and showed improving stamina, leaving a good impression. On 8/9 at Conghua (turf trial 800m: 6-6-3), it ran comfortably under restraint, flowing naturally. A break since its last start, this is its seasonal debut. Four trials have been completed with slight improvement observed. Last run was over a Happy Valley 1200m, and for this race it will carry an additional pound. Drawn well, the plan is to settle back in the field and rely on a finishing kick; appears capable of a surprise performance.
