ROMANTIC SON

On March 6th, a turf trial over 1000m at Conghua saw the horse settle tracking the leaders and finish with a strong finishing kick to win. This horse is a recent winner; six weeks ago in a race over the same distance, it showed impressive form, jumping slowly but settling into a comfortable position, maintaining a steady pace throughout before making a late run to secure victory. A subsequent barrier trial indicated slight improvement. Moving up in class for this race with a 15-pound weight reduction, the horse has recorded four wins from thirteen starts over this distance and benefits from an advantageous draw. Its overall rating places it among the leading contenders in this field, while the jockey-horse combination is reasonable, trainer partnership is satisfactory, and recent trackwork looks promising – considered a strong chance."
