GOOD FORTUNE

On 18/6, he ran a dirt trial over 1200m (3-1-2), coming out of the gate smoothly. Eight weeks ago in a similar race, his performance was poor; he was slow to leave the stalls and settled towards the back, showing a weakening drive in the final stages, resulting in a heavy defeat. He has shown some slight improvement in recent trials. Having failed in eight previous starts, facing rivals with an advantage in class and unfavorable circumstances in this race, coupled with a poor barrier draw and slightly inferior closing speed, his victory relies on tactical training and good jockey/horse synergy, suggesting he is not the best choice for this contest.
