SOLEIL FIGHTER

On 27/4, he ran a dirt trial at Conghua for 1200m (runners' positions: 2-2-2), tracking the pace and gaining ground under urging; on 10/4, he showed improvement in a dirt trial at Conghua for 1200m (runners' positions: 4-3-1). Two months ago, he ran at Sha Tin over 1800m on turf and was very disappointing; he got going but his late run weakened. After two trial runs, there has been slight improvement. Returning to Happy Valley over a mile on turf this time with one pound less, he has three wins in fifteen starts. His sectional times are the best in his group, and his form is not poor; he has the ability to get into a front-running position. Overall assessments place him as a strong contender in this race, the jockey has good feel for the horse, and after thorough pre-race preparation, he is expected to win again.
