VECU

4/6 (Conghua dirt trial 1200m: 1-3-3) ran smoothly near the rail but lacked strong acceleration. Six months ago, in a Sha Tin turf 1600m race, his performance was disappointing; he ran freely with a consistent pace but unremarkable form. A recent trial showed slight improvement. Switching to Happy Valley turf over a mile for the first time, he needs to carry an extra three pounds this time. The distance is not ideal, and the gap in class within his group is significant, with connections' coordination not yet perfect. However, his early speed is sufficient to take the initiative for position, and his finishing kick within this group is strong; he warrants attention.
