HYMNBOOK

11/6 (Dirt trial 1200m: 7-7-3). Trailed early, came up third in the rear. Eight weeks ago, this horse ran similarly and performed respectably; it didn't jump out quickly but maintained a steady pace from the back, gradually regaining ground in the closing stages. Luckily, it was not too far behind and finished beaten by three and a half lengths. After a trial run, there has been slight improvement. This horse has lost all three previous races, so its prospects are slightly unfavorable and its draw has not been ideal. However, it is expected to run from the rear, possesses the strongest finishing kick in its group, and has adequate stamina; some lack of performance is not surprising.
