HAPPY ACTION

Four days ago, this horse ran a very disappointing dirt trial over 1200m. He was slow to break from the stalls, settled back, maintaining a steady pace throughout with an uninspiring run. Switching to Happy Valley turf for a short trip, this is his first attempt over this distance, and he needs to carry an extra pound in this race. The trip does not suit him well, the prospects are not very favorable, and there is no outstanding partnership between jockey and trainer. He is not the horse for this race.
