BEAUTY CRESCENT

2/4 (Zonghua dirt trial 1200m: 4-4-4) showed mediocre response in the trial, not as expected. On 19/3 (Zonghua dirt trial 1200m: 4-4-5), the horse started slowly and showed an average response under jockey instruction. Two months ago, in a race with the same runners, the performance was poor; it trailed throughout, maintaining an even pace, showing lackluster form, and finishing badly. Having tried two more trials, there has been no improvement. In this race, the horse must carry four extra pounds, and being disadvantaged by time in its group puts it at a disadvantage. Its finishing kick is not prominent, and the bond between jockey and trainer is not particularly strong; with only three wins from twenty-six starts, decent draw positions, and given this, it is not the choice for today's race.
