TOMODACHI KOKOROE

On 21/5, in a Sha Tin 1200m dirt trial (running positions: 1-2-2), the horse showed an eagerness to lead and maintain a strong, fluid stride. Five weeks ago in the same race, his performance was not bad and he showed ability to run freely. He has shown slight improvement in a recent trial run. In this race, the circumstances are slightly unfavorable and his closing kick is somewhat lacking; the rapport between jockey and trainer isn't particularly strong. Having won three of sixteen starts, with generally acceptable timing, he is capable of placing.
