JOYFUL PROSPERITY

Raced over 1600m on Sha Tin turf trial on 12/6 (run positions: 5-5-5-2), applying pressure and maintaining a forward pace. Four weeks ago in the same race, his performance was poor; slow to jump out, running towards the rear, accelerating in the middle section, and pushing again over two sections on the straight. The overall pace was steady, but his movement was unimpressive. After a trial run, there has been slight improvement. The circumstances are somewhat disadvantageous, and his finishing kick is slightly lacking; the jockey-trainer combination is not ideal. However, he has won twice in this distance and benefits from a favorable draw, so he is not the choice for this race.
