RED MAESTRO

21/5 (Shekou dirt trial 1200m: 4-4-2) ran steadily and settled well. Four weeks ago, in the same race, he performed excellently, maintaining a strong run at the back and steadily regaining ground in the final stages, finishing as runner-up, beaten only two and a half lengths. The recent trial showed slight improvement. Time figures are weak, and the form is slightly unfavorable; the draw was not ideal. However, his closing speed in this company is strong and he has prepared seriously; some lack of performance is understandable.
