KING DANCE

15/05 (Conghua turf trial 1200m: 10-8-9). Tends to be sluggish, only slightly closing when spurred. Last ran winner, performed excellently in the same race five weeks ago; although slow out of the gate and running towards the rear, maintained an average pace throughout, recovering significant ground in the final stages to win. The recent trial suggests he needs more work. Stepping up in class, this race carries a 12lb weight reduction; he has won twice over this trip before and competed competitively in this group. When tracking near the rear, his finishing kick remains a definite threat. Overall assessment places him among the top contenders in this race, with strong synergy between jockey and trainer, giving him a good chance to win.
