HORSEPOWER

On 9/10, this horse finished a clear second in a dirt trial over 1050m, appearing relaxed and untroubled. On 16/9, he again secured second place in a dirt trial over 1050m, maintaining an easy pace. Returning from a spell, this is his seasonal debut. Two barrier trials have been undertaken showing slight improvement. Dropping back in class, he will make his first appearance of the season in a Happy Valley sprint. He faces an 11-pound weight increase for this race despite having secured two previous wins over this distance. His trial times are respectable and drawing a favorable barrier suggests a hold-up strategy. Possesses the strongest finishing kick among its rivals, trainer and jockey show good synergy and appears to be improving with each run, however facing unfavorable conditions, optimal pairing is advised.
