June 12th (Sha Tin turf barrier trial over 1000m: 8-8-5) maintained a lead in the closing stages, not far behind. As the last ran winner, he showed excellent form six weeks ago in the same race; running from off the pace with a steady gallop, he gradually closed in during the final stages to win. The trial saw him perform well. With a proven record and decent timing figures, he still possesses a noticeable finishing kick advantage. Based on the assessment, he is considered one of the strongest contenders in this race. The jockey and trainer coordination looks good. However, he faces six pounds of added weight in this race, the favorable running position is not apparent, and his draw is not ideal; nonetheless, he still has winning potential.
