LUCKY PLUS

On December 25th (Conghua dirt trial 1050m: 1-1-4), showed the fastest early speed but faded in the straight. On December 11th (Conghua dirt trial 1200m: 1-1-4), led aggressively initially but lacked stamina at the finish. Five weeks ago over this same distance, the performance was poor, tracking the pace setters with a steady tempo and showing no finishing kick. Two barrier trials demonstrated moderate form. This time carrying one pound less weight, the relative time difference within its group is unfavourable. Despite drawing a good barrier, opportunities appear limited even if it manages to lead.
