LEADING AGILITY

On 9/4, he showed good acceleration from the middle of the pack in a 1200m dirt trial (4-4-2), running calmly. Four weeks ago in the same race, he performed excellently; though his start was slow and he tracked from behind with a steady pace, he managed to regain some ground in the final stages, finishing as a strong contender and beaten only half a length. After another trial, he showed slight improvement. His time figures are not poor, and overall scoring places him among the top contenders for this race. The partnership between jockey and trainer seems smooth, and his recent form is solid; despite a slightly unfavorable position or somewhat diminished finishing kick, he should not be underestimated.
