VIGOR EYE

On 26/6, the horse performed well in a Sha Tin turf barrier trial over 1200m (running position: 3-2-1), maintaining momentum along the rail. Five weeks ago in a race run alongside this trial, the horse showed outstanding form, tracking near the front with sustained energy down the straight to secure second place. Being not far behind in handicaps suggests a high level of class. The recent trial showed slight improvement. This horse has proven ability, and its timing suggests competitive fitness. With favorable race conditions, it has the potential to lead from the front and is among the top-rated contenders for this race. The jockey has a good understanding of the horse's temperament, and morning work remains encouraging; however, it will carry an extra pound this time, and its finishing kick is slightly diminished, but it remains a key contender.
