VERBIER

Three weeks ago, the horse performed excellently in a dirt mile, showing strong ability to extend and finishing as runner-up, beaten only half a length; the horse's standard is high. Returning to Happy Valley over a mile, this run showed promise with an acceptable time and favorable positioning, possessing the ability to take the lead. Based on overall assessment in this race, he is a front-runner, and the jockey's riding style suits the horse well; the training partnership is decent. The recent workout form is not poor, but this time he requires an extra pound and his closing speed was slightly inferior; nevertheless, he remains a key consideration.
