PARENTS' LOVE

2/4 (Dirt trial 1050m: 1-1-1) Led from the start and traveled comfortably throughout. Five weeks ago, this horse ran a disappointing race in a Happy Valley sprint, settling back and maintaining a steady pace with a mediocre performance. A recent barrier trial showed improvement. Returning to a straight course this time with an 8lb claim, the horse has shown potential; the time indicator is decent and conditions look favorable. Capable of adopting a front-running style, the horse holds a high rating in this field. The jockey has a good understanding of its temperament and form is improving, though the draw is less than ideal and the finishing kick remains a slight weakness. A potential upset candidate.
