STAR FIGURE

Three weeks ago, the horse performed well in a 1200m Happy Valley turf race. While his exit from the gate was not fast, he settled towards the rear and maintained a steady run. In the final stages, he gradually closed the gap, finishing only three lengths behind and demonstrating a high level of quality. In his subsequent attempt over the mile on Happy Valley turf, this was his first run at that distance. The trip did not suit him, and his time figures were weak; the race dynamics did not favor him. The connection between jockey and trainer was not particularly cohesive, but if he adopts a stalking running style, his late surge is among the strongest in his group, and the jockey has some understanding of the horse's temperament, so a lack of strong performance is not surprising.
