JOY STAR

On May 22nd, in a dirt trial over 1200m (Dirt Trial 1200m: 1-1-1), the horse burst out quickly and dominated. Four weeks ago, in a dirt race over 1200m, the performance was very poor; he was slow to exit the gate, ran in the rear, and his late run weakened significantly, resulting in a heavy defeat. The horse has shown improvement in recent trials. A return run on Sha Tin turf over 1200m suffered from an unfavorable draw, and the rapport between jockey and trainer was not particularly strong, but his ability to make a quick move upfront and powerful finishing kick within the field cannot be overlooked.
