HOT DELIGHT

On May 26th, he ran a turf barrier trial over 1000m (positioning: 4-5-3), maintaining his composure throughout to finish third. Four weeks prior, in a race at the same track, he performed excellently, showing good burst and finishing strongly, though his late run showed some weakening. He finished fourth, but fortunately was not far behind, beaten only half a length. A recent trial showed slight improvement. He has three wins in four starts, and his time with this group is respectable; he can hold a favorable forward position. His finishing kick within the same group ranks as the strongest. Overall, his rating places him among the top contenders in the field. The jockey has a good understanding of the horse's temperament, and the trainer-jockey combination appears harmonious. His recent demeanor is good; however, he must carry four extra pounds in this race and his draw is not ideal, but he remains in contention for a win.
