COLOURFUL GAN

From the 25/8 Changhua turf trial over 1200m (6-4-4), the horse started slightly slow, accelerating down the straight with some progress. This is an early run this season; three months ago in a race alongside the same horse, it was very disappointing, finishing near the rear with an even pace and mediocre running style. A recent trial showed average form. Having lost all four races in this campaign, and with no clear advantage in the group draw or form, his finishing kick is slightly lacking, and the jockey/trainer partnership hasn't shown much brilliance. His only advantages are drawing a good barrier and carrying three pounds less in this race, which still suggests low chances.
