SAGACIOUS LIFE

On December 22nd, the horse recorded strong dirt trial figures over 1200m (sections: 2-2-1), running comfortably in the early stages to secure a good position. Five weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was decent despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. However, he maintained a steady pace with no obvious weak sections, finishing sixth beaten two and a half lengths. A subsequent barrier trial showed improvement. This race requires an additional seven pounds to be carried. The horse has shown good form over this distance, recording the best time among its group. Drawing an inside barrier is advantageous. Based on its ability, it’s a strong contender in this competition. Zac Purton takes the ride, and there appears to be good synergy between horse, jockey and trainer, suggesting a likely place finish.
