CHIU CHOW SPIRIT

On December 16th, this horse completed a turf trial over 1600m in (6-5-5-1) – slow start, travelled on the inside rail during the straight and won. Five weeks ago over the same distance, performance was unremarkable; a slow jump led to settling back in the field but showed an effort mid-race although unable to close the gap. One barrier trial has demonstrated improvement. This race requires carrying an additional five pounds, with comparable times within the group. A hold-up tactic is expected, possessing the strongest finishing kick among its rivals. Jockey Karis Teetan replaces the previous rider, familiar with the horse's temperament. Despite three losses over this distance, circumstances are not entirely unfavorable; however, trainer/jockey synergy has been lacking, but still capable of showing its true potential.
