ARIEL

Ran a dirt trial at Conghua over 1200m on May 29th (6-6-1), closing from the outside to win. Five weeks ago in a similar race, he performed exceptionally well, tracking close to the front from a good position, though his closing speed weakened slightly in the final stages, earning second place. He made a trial run and showed slight improvement. His current draw is not ideal, and his late acceleration was slightly inferior; the jockey and trainer combination was not perfect. However, given his ability to quicken and past form in this race, it is not entirely without potential.
