BRIGHT DAY

Trial on 25/6 (Dirt trial 1200m: 5-5-3), ran on the outside, finishing third from behind. Five weeks ago, in the same race, his performance was not bad; he jumped out slowly and settled back, maintaining a steady gallop. He managed to regain some ground towards the finish but was not far behind, finishing only two lengths back, indicating a high level of ability. He has shown slight improvement in recent barrier trials. This time he needs to carry an extra pound; the circumstances do not appear favorable, and his finishing kick is slightly lacking. The partnership between jockey and trainer has not shown outstanding chemistry. His merit in this race, coupled with the decent draw in the same group, means he must be monitored.
