PERFECT TEAM

(2/9 Dirt trial 1200m: started in the rear, took a wide turn and quickly eased up. This is an early seasonal run; three weeks ago in the same race, his performance was sluggish, maintaining a good position tracking the leaders with an even pace but lacking in momentum. He ran one trial, which wasn't particularly impressive. The current prospects are not favorable; the draw is not ideal, and the jockey-trainer combination isn't perfect. However, his finishing kick was the sharpest in the group when contesting in the rear, and despite having won twice on this course previously, high expectations are unwarranted.)
