SONIC BOOM

27/3 (Turf trial 1200m: 3-3-5) Trapped on the rail in a straight course trial and failed to show true ability. Eight weeks ago, this horse ran a lackluster race over 1200m at Happy Valley; despite settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace, the performance was unremarkable and finished just 3.5 lengths behind the winner. A subsequent turf trial showed no improvement. In a recent 1200m dirt trial, the horse clocked a similar time to its rivals but lacked a strong finishing kick. However, due to its ability to hold a prominent position and its previous track record, it could be a value inclusion for exotic bets.
