HARMONY FIRE

On March 6th, a turf trial over 1000m at Conghua saw a slow jump and settled mid-pack. Five weeks ago in the same distance race, it performed well with a hold-up strategy, maintaining a steady pace and finishing strongly for third place, beaten by only half a length. A subsequent barrier trial didn't show any improvement. The draw is unfavorable, lacking a strong finishing kick, and trainer/jockey combination isn’t ideal; however, this time it benefits from a one-pound weight reduction, with five wins in 41 starts over this distance, suggesting potential for a place."
