CANDLELIGHT DINNER

On 8/9, this horse ran a dirt trial over 1200m (running positions: 1-1-3), finishing third with a strong early pace but lacking sustained power past the finish line. In this season's opening runs, he performed excellently in a similar race two months prior, showing good acceleration to secure second place, and was not too far off the winner. He has shown slight improvement in recent trials. While his current draw is not ideal, his closing speed was slightly inferior, and there isn't an exceptionally strong partnership between the jockey and trainer. However, given his ability to maintain a favorable forward position in this race—where he has three wins from twelve starts—he could be considered an outsider contender.
