SWORD POINT

16/06 (Dirt Trial 1200m: 3-3-1) Moved wide on the bend, ran to the finish alongside rivals, winning. Five weeks ago, this horse ran disappointingly over 1800m on Sha Tin turf, being ridden too freely and showing a weakening late run, resulting in a heavy defeat. A recent trial showed improvement. In a return dirt mile race, the time indicator was weak and the late drive was slightly inferior; the jockey-trainer partnership did not stand out. He won because he held a good position tracking the leaders, but having won twice previously, he is not selected for this race.
