PODIUM

Five weeks ago, the horse performed excellently over a Happy Valley 1200m, maintaining his position in the rear with a steady gait and gradually closing in in the final stages to finish fourth, beaten by only two lengths. This indicates a high standard of ability. He subsequently tried on the Happy Valley turf over a mile, and this time carrying one pound less in weight. Having won two races previously, his time figures remain respectable. Drawing a good barrier, the collaboration between jockey and trainer remains smooth; although circumstances are not perfectly favorable and his finishing kick wasn't outstanding, he is still considered a contender.
