SAGACIOUS LIFE

2/6 (Dirt trial 1200m: Straight run accelerating, closing the gap progressively). Three months ago, this horse performed poorly in a Sha Tin 2000m race, settling well near the front but showing weakening stamina in the final stages. Having run a trial barrier jump, there has been slight improvement. Stepping onto the track after work, he tried a Sha Tin 1600m trial and previously won two races in this class, with acceptable timekeeping. The draw is ideal and the jockey partnership is satisfactory. His form remains stable; even though he needs to carry an extra nine pounds this time, the race setup is slightly unfavorable, and his finishing kick hasn't been outstanding, he is considered to be for placing purposes in this race.
