KING'S ARROW

March 16th (Sha Tin Turf Trial, 1000m: 5-5-3) jumped slowly and settled steadily with gentle prompting. March 27th (Sha Tin Turf Trial, 1000m: 5-2-3) ran smoothly and demonstrated a mature gait. This is its maiden race; it started training in mid-November last year after arriving in Hong Kong. After two trial runs, it showed slight improvement. Its stride is low and its turnover quick, possessing acceleration and good fighting spirit; it should excel at shorter distances. This is its debut start, but there is a slight concern regarding potential lameness in April, compounded by a period of rest before this race. It is advisable to watch its performance first; wait for the next opportunity.
