SMART FAT CAT

On May 26th, in a turf barrier trial over 1600m (positioning: 6-7-6-4), the horse tracked freely on the main straight before accelerating. Two months ago, in a Sha Tin trial over 1600m, the horse performed excellently, maintaining a strong run and a steady pace throughout. In the final stages, it gradually closed on the leaders to secure second place, losing by only half a length. A subsequent barrier trial showed average performance. In a more recent Sha Tin trial over 1800m, making its debut at this distance, the horse carries a one-pound weight allowance in this race. The distance is suitable, the time figures are not poor, and the draw is favorable. If it settles towards the rear to compete, its finishing kick in this field is the most potent. Overall assessment places it among the leaders, and the jockey/trainer combination appears well-matched, suggesting another successful outing is possible.
