HAILTOTHEVICTORS

22/9 (Dirt Trial 1200m: 9-9-6) ran with a straight run and an impressive closing pace. Four weeks ago, he was sluggish in a Sha Tin 1600m run, tracking the pace from a good position with an even tempo throughout, showing average form. A trial run was conducted, but the experience level seems insufficient. In a recent dirt mile return race, his timing was not outstanding, and the circumstances were not favorable; he ran from the back but lacked finishing power compared to his rivals. The partnership between jockey and trainer has not been highlighted as strong, but given his proven ability and favorable draw this time, high expectations should be tempered.
