AURORA LADY

Two weeks ago, this horse ran well in a Happy Valley sprint, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear but finishing strongly to take fourth. In another trial over 1200m at Happy Valley, he will carry six pounds less this time. Despite having four wins from twelve starts over this distance, with good times recorded, and drawing a favorable barrier, his overall ability is considered higher than some rivals. Alexis Badel takes the ride, forming a promising partnership. However, he’s expected to be held up in running, but may lack the finishing kick of opponents, making the situation less advantageous. The trainer-jockey combination isn't ideal.
