SUPER LOVE

16/4 (Dirt Trial 1200m: 7-8-5) Jockey rode it in an 800m burst, looking for space in the final 200m and making a strong recovery. Five weeks ago, this horse performed poorly in a mile on dirt, tracking near the front but fading in the final stages to finish badly. A trial run showed he couldn't keep up with the pace. Running on Happy Valley turf over 1200m, his position was disadvantageous, requiring him to stay back, but his finishing kick wasn't as strong as the opposition. The jockey and trainer don't seem perfectly aligned, though favorable draw and acceptable timing keep his chances low.
