WINNING GOLD

7/5 (Tuen Mun dirt trial 1200m: 5-5-5), he gradually closed in towards the finish after the first section. On 27/4 (Tuen Mun turf trial 1000m: 7-8-5), he lacked early speed and needed to test his closing ability. Three months ago, he ran a subpar race over 1600m on Sha Tin turf; he was slow to leave the barrier, settled back, maintained a consistent pace throughout, and showed no real acceleration. After two practice trials, there is no sign of improvement. In his latest 1400m Sha Tin turf trial, the circumstances were unfavorable, and his closing burst was slightly inferior. The partnership between jockey and trainer hasn't shown much promise, although it is worth noting that he has won four of the last eleven races and his draw has been decent, so high expectations are unwarranted.
