THUNDER BLAZE

On March 2nd, (dirt trial 1200m: 5-5-3) conserved energy while moving forward, showing increased stamina. Three weeks ago, in a dirt track 1200m race, the performance was decent; slow start, settled towards the back, accelerated mid-race and responded well when asked. A recent barrier trial indicated slight improvement. Switching to a dirt mile for this race, it's his first attempt at this distance. This time with a five-pound weight reduction, the increased distance should suit him. Drawn an inside barrier, expected to settle towards the back and finish strongly. Overall form is good and relative strength suggests potential for an immediate win.
