SUNNY DARLING

On October 18th, this horse recorded (Happy Valley turf trial 1200m: 4-4-4), tracking the leaders and maintaining a consistent speed in the straight. Five weeks ago, over dirt at 1200m, the performance was satisfactory despite a slow jump, settling towards the rear before making a mid-race move but failing to sustain it to the finish. A recent trial showed adequate form. Another turf trial at Happy Valley over 1200m, this time with a two-pound weight reduction; however, the horse has four losses in four attempts over this distance, presenting an unfavorable scenario. Despite comparable times within its group and drawing a good barrier, it’s unlikely to feature."
