BRAVE STAR

On 12/6, this horse ran a trial over 1200m on Happy Valley turf (3-3-3), running wide and maintaining momentum under the jockey's urging. Eight weeks ago, in a short distance race on Happy Valley turf, the performance was lackluster; he was slow to exit the barrier and tracked near the rear with a steady pace, showing no significant attacking drive. After a trial run, there has been slight improvement. Moving up in class for this race over the straight course, he has lost all three previous starts. The time gap with his group is a negative, and the current circumstances are not particularly favorable; the closing speed was slightly inferior. While there isn't a strong synergy between the jockey and trainer, the horse has shown dedication in pre-race preparation, and given the jockey's familiarity with the horse, there might still be potential.
