MARVEL AND GOLD

On November 28th, (dirt trial 1200m: 2-1-1), the horse travelled in midfield throughout. Six weeks ago, over a dirt 1200m race, performance was poor with a slow jump and settled towards the rear, maintaining an even pace but lacking a finishing kick. A subsequent barrier trial showed improvement. Another turf trial at Happy Valley over 1200m, this time with a two-pound weight reduction, recorded slower section times within its group and drew a wide barrier, necessitating a settling back position. Finishing kick wasn't strong enough to match rivals, creating an unfavorable situation; however, surprisingly AI algorithms suggest potential for an upset win making it worth considering as a longshot."
