PACKING HERMOD

June 23rd, he ran a dirt trial over 1200m, positioned fifth in the first section, fifth in the second, and fourth in the final. He looked to the outside on the straight, closing the gap as he pressed forward, finishing second out of six. Two months prior in a similar race, the performance was very disappointing; he settled near the front and maintained a steady pace. He tried to accelerate in the middle section and chased again over the final two sections on the straight, maintaining a consistent pace throughout. His run was unremarkable. After running two practice trials, he has not shown much improvement in conditioning. The current conditions are somewhat disadvantageous, and the jockey and trainer do not seem perfectly aligned. However, his late burst of speed within his group is strong; with three wins from ten starts, he could be a contender for an upset.
