AKASHVANI

On 14/10, this horse recorded (Turf trial 1000m: 8-6-2), moving out after 400m and gradually improving its position. Three weeks ago, over a Sha Tin 1200m turf track, the performance was poor, tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a finishing surge, losing by half a length only. A recent barrier trial showed slight improvement. Making its debut on Happy Valley's 1200m turf this time, it will carry one pound more weight. The distance is suitable, and the horse has strong potential for an early lead. Drawing a good barrier provides a favorable position. This horse possesses a clear advantage in this race. Zac Purton takes the ride, demonstrating familiarity with the horse's temperament; trainer and jockey have a strong rapport. A clean jump and a determined push for the lead should secure a forward position.
