VOYAGE SAMURAI

On May 19th, in a dirt trial over 1200m (running positions: 2-1-3), he was placed second behind the leader and finished third with composure. Six weeks ago, his performance on Sha Tin turf over 1800m was poor; he extended well but showed weakening late in the race, resulting in a heavy defeat. A recent trial showed slight improvement. In his last outing, he ran on Sha Tin turf over 1600m; in this race, he needs to carry seven pounds extra. His closing speed was slightly inferior, and the jockey-trainer partnership hasn't shown outstanding synergy. However, he has good ability to press forward; with three wins in thirteen starts, he should not be overlooked.
