GLORY CLOUD

June 22nd, he ran an 800m turf trial at Conghua (7-7-3), running alongside the leaders early and then closing to challenge, beaten not far behind. Two months ago, he performed poorly over 1200m on Sha Tin turf; he was slow out of the gate, ran towards the rear, maintained a steady pace throughout, and showed an unimpressive run. After a trial run, there was slight improvement. Switching to shorter Happy Valley turf, this is his first outing over the distance. In this race, he needs to carry two pounds more; the trip is not suited to him, and his time performance hasn't been outstanding. The situation isn't favourable, the draw is not ideal, and if he settles back to run towards the rear, his finishing speed will struggle against the competition. Furthermore, the jockey-trainer combination is not ideal; he is not the selection for this race.
