NEZHA

On 16/06, he ran a dirt trial over 1200m finishing in running positions of 4-4-3. He looked for clear running on the straight and was prompted towards the end of third section. Seven weeks ago, in a similar race, he was very disappointing; he jumped out slowly, stayed towards the rear, maintained a steady pace throughout, and only managed to draw level in the final stages. Fortunately, he was not too far behind, losing by half a length. After running a trial race, there has been slight improvement. In this current race, he carries one pound less weight; his form over this distance is good, and the time indicator remains acceptable. His overall rating places him among the leaders in this race, with good cooperation between horse and jockey and solid tactical deployment from the trainer. He is preparing seriously and warrants consideration as a key contender.
