ARMOUR WAR EAGLE

2/6 (Dirt trial 1200m: 3-2-3) responded well on the bend, finishing third from the rear. On 19/5 (Dirt trial 1200m: 1-1-1), the horse was proactive in its running, coming back to win impressively. Two months ago, this horse performed exceptionally well over 1200m on dirt, tracking the leaders with a steady pace throughout; in the finishing stages, it gradually regained lost ground to finish second, beaten only a half-length. Having trained in two barrier trials, there has been improvement. After running over 1200m on Sha Tin turf, the time figures remain respectable, and its finishing kick is the strongest in its group. With a high overall assessment for this race and strong chemistry between trainer and jockey, the horse appears to be in good form and has a real chance to win.
