(Dirt trial 1200m on 9/4: led, maintained position under pressure down the straight) followed by (Happy Valley turf trial 1000m on 27/3: steady pace, little change). Six weeks ago, in a short race on Happy Valley turf, the performance was decent; he settled in a good position tracking the leaders and maintained energy down the straight. Fortunately, he was not overly weighed down and finished only three and a half lengths behind. After two more trial runs, the experience level is still lacking. Stepping back to Happy Valley over 1200m, this time with a two-pound allowance, the time was acceptable. With favorable conditions and drawing an advantageous draw, his early speed is enough to make a move for position. Based on the assessment, he is considered one of the strongest contenders in this field; the jockey has a good grasp of the horse's temperament, and the partnership between trainer and jockey is harmonious, giving him a strong chance to win.
