CENTRAL BANK

14/4 (Turf trial 800m: 4-3-3) secured third place, showing polished technique. On 31/3 (Dirt trial 1050m: 4-3-1), the horse moved out further, progressing as expected. In a trial on 16/3 at Conghua (Turf trial 1000m: 6-6-8), the start was slow, and it faded in the second section. Two months ago, in a straight race, its performance was poor; it settled near the front maintaining a steady pace throughout, with no noticeable acceleration. After three preparatory trials, there has been improvement. Now moving to Happy Valley turf over a shorter distance, this is its first run at this trip. The distance does not suit it, and the form does not seem to align with the race conditions; its late stamina is slightly lacking. It managed a win due to favorable draw and acceptable timing within the field, but it doesn't appear to have a strong plan.
