STARRY SHOW

Seven days ago, this horse ran a respectable race over Happy Valley 1200m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear. He maintained a consistent pace throughout and made gradual progress in the final stages. Switching to dirt over 1200m this time, it’s a first attempt at the distance which doesn't suit. The time wasn’t impressive, and he faces a disadvantageous barrier draw. Settling towards the rear is likely, meaning his finishing kick might not be strong enough to challenge. The trainer-jockey combination hasn’t shown much synergy, and a cautious approach is advised.
