ABSOLUTE AWAKENEDOn October 31st, (dirt trial 1200m: 6-6-7) the horse maintained a steady pace without losing ground under restraint. Last month's race over Sha Tin’s 1400m turf was subpar; a slow jump saw it settle towards the rear initially, showing an effort from mid-race with a strong push but ultimately finishing three and a half lengths behind in eighth position. One barrier trial showed no significant improvement. Switching to Happy Valley's mile this time for its debut at this distance, the horse carries an additional 3 pounds. A hold-up tactic is anticipated, though finishing speed may be a concern. While the distance appears suitable and it has drawn a favorable barrier, overall positioning isn’t ideal.
