NEW FOREST

Thirteen days ago, this horse ran a lackluster race over 1400m on the Sha Tin turf, settling back and maintaining a steady pace throughout but showing nothing impressive. In a recent 1800m turf trial, which was its first attempt at the distance, the performance was unremarkable; the horse lacked a strong finishing kick and appeared to be struggling with the trip. Given the lack of synergy between trainer and jockey, despite having the ability to lead or track the pace, the horse remains a low prospect for this race.
