CORLEONE

On November 27th, this horse recorded a strong dirt trial over 1200m in Conghua, leading comfortably with energy to spare. A recent winner five weeks ago at the same distance, he displayed impressive form settling well and finishing strongly over the final two sections for an easy victory by two and a half lengths. His latest barrier trial was satisfactory. This time, he will carry four pounds more weight. He has proven records in this distance, posting the best time amongst his group, and drew a good barrier with potential to lead. Compared to other contenders, his overall ability is superior and should secure a forward position if jumping cleanly.
