SMART AVENUE

September 19th (Happy Valley turf trial 1200m: 8-8-6) Jumped out normally, accelerated on the straight, showing promising late speed. This is his first outing this season; three months ago he ran over a Sha Tin 1600m, showing lackluster form. He was slow to jump out and ran toward the rear, accelerating in the middle section, then chased hard for two sections on the straight. He maintained a consistent pace throughout with an unremarkable run style. This trial did not display strong power. In another Sha Tin 1800m trial, he achieved the best time in his group with an advantageous draw. His finishing kick was the strongest among his peers, placing him in the highest-rated group for this race. The jockey has a good grasp of the horse's temperament and is expected to perform again.
