LIFELINE EXPRESS

(Dirt trial 1200m on 25/9: straight run quiet, unproven in the lead) (Dirt trial 1200m on 11/9: tracked steadily in a straight run, warming up nature). This is early in the season; three weeks ago in the same race, performance was disappointing with a late run and an even pace throughout. Having run two trial sessions, no improvement has been seen. The race conditions are not favorable, and the jockey-trainer combination isn't ideal. However, if adopting a stalking running style, the closing speed in this group is strong; having won twice before on this course, chances remain low.
