GALLANT BOUNTY

Trial on 19/5 (dirt trial 1200m: 3-3-6) showed no weakness in the early stages, but faltered on the straight. On 8/5 (Happy Valley turf trial 1200m: 6-8-8), the horse was ridden by a jockey but tired and dropped back. On 27/4 (from Ka Lok turf trial 1000m: 10-7-1), there was an initial collision, but in the final stages managed to pass competitors to win. On 13/4 (from Ka Lok turf trial 800m: 1-1-1), the speed was fastest and maintained until the finish. As a debutant in Hong Kong, it began training in mid-February after arriving. After four trials, the performance was mediocre; the horse jumped quite high and showed slight acceleration but lacked real power, fitting better at a mile. Given this is its first start in this race, one should observe it over the initial outing.
