STELLAR EXPRESS

On May 22nd, in a dirt trial over 1200m (running position: 4-4-4), the horse jumped out quickest and settled smoothly, showing a steady pace. In a dirt trial over 1200m on May 12th (running position: 1-1-3), it finished third strongly, maintaining good form. Five weeks ago in a short Happy Valley race, the horse performed reasonably well and showed ability to run away, finishing only two lengths behind. After two trial runs in the barrier trials, there has been slight improvement. Stepping up in class to run over 1200m on Sha Tin turf this time with an 11-pound weight reduction, the time performance is acceptable and the prospects are not poor. Its early speed is sufficient to challenge for position proactively, and the jockey and trainer have a good understanding. Despite having eight previous defeats, unfavorable draw positions, and not showing outstanding finishing power, it may still have a chance.
