SETANTA

On October 24th, a turf trial over 1200m at Conghua saw the horse settling towards the rear with an easy pace. Four weeks ago in a similar trial, it performed reasonably well despite a slow jump and settling back in the field, displaying a strong late run. A recent barrier trial didn’t show significant improvement. This race features a two-pound weight reduction for this horse, which has previously won twice over this distance. The group's times are comparable, and the barrier draw is favorable. While the current form suggests it may need to settle back again, its finishing kick isn't as strong as its rivals, making its chances questionable but worth monitoring.
