CHARITY GAIN

7/5 (1200m dirt trial: 6-6-7) trailed and chased, a warming up run. Two months ago, he ran poorly in a Happy Valley 1600m on turf, maintaining position but showing weakness in the final stages and finishing heavily defeated. A recent trial showed no improvement. Switching to Sha Tin over 1600m on turf, his first attempt at this distance, the trip did not suit him, time figures were unimpressive, and circumstances were ill-suited. The jockey and trainer do not appear to have a strong rapport; the general outlook is negative.
