MAJESTIC VALOUR

8/9 (Dirt trial 1200m: Pace-Pace-Pace) settled near the front, displaying a calm stride. In his last run on 26/8 (Dirt trial 1200m: Pace-Mid-Mid), he held third calmly. This is his first outing of the season; three months ago, he performed reasonably well over 1400m on Sha Tin turf, staying near the leaders in a favorable position. He has completed two training trials and shown slight improvement. In this race, carrying 4lbs less weight, he has two previous wins. He can maintain a good position near the front, and his morning work remains consistent. Even if his time performance is not outstanding or his finishing kick slightly lacking, and the jockey/trainer combination isn't ideal, he should be considered a contender.
