TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR

Fourteen days ago, this horse performed exceptionally well in a 1200m dirt trial, showing great ability to run freely, finishing as runner-up and only beaten half a length. Running on Sha Tin turf over 1200m now with five pounds less, his time is competitive, and his closing speed in the latter stages amongst his peers is strong. Overall evaluations place him among the leaders for this race, and the jockey has a good command of the horse's temperament. Despite having a string of six consecutive losses and not possessing overwhelmingly favorable conditions, he is being entered primarily as a supporting runner this time.
