NEXT FORTUNE

On 25/8, in a dirt trial over 1200m (3-4-6), the horse ran on the outside but showed decent movement. This is an early start to the season; two months ago in a similar race, his performance was considered good. He tracked near the leaders from a good position but weakened in the final stages, fortunately not being far behind and finishing only three and a half lengths behind. He had a recent trial run which did not impress significantly. For this race, he will carry an extra pound. Having lost all three previous races in this campaign, his chances are slightly unfavorable, and the jockey and trainer do not seem to have a particular rapport. However, his finishing kick is second to none in the group, and he has an advantageous draw, so he cannot be overlooked.
