SOLAR RIVER

9/4 dirt trial 1200m (5-5-8) finished in the rear with no positive impression. On 14/3, he ran a Happy Valley turf trial over 1000m (3-3-5) without losing ground, though his run in the straight was average. On 24/2, he ran a turf trial over 800m (2-6-6) maintaining his pace and tracking with restraint throughout. After a long break, this is his first start of the season. In the same race in September, he performed poorly, fading late and finishing badly. After three more trials, no improvement has been seen. With six races run and all unsuccessful, his timeform is not outstanding, and his finishing kick is lacking. His only advantage is the ability to stay close during the race and cover the ground, but he remains a low-chance runner.
