GUSTOSISIMO

On September 22nd, he ran a dirt trial over 1200m (5-5-5), showing a favorable run when urged on in the straight. Four weeks ago, his performance over 1200m on Sha Tin turf was poor; he tracked the leaders from a good position with an even pace throughout, displaying lackluster movement. A recent trial showed he lacked the necessary power. In his last Happy Valley turf run over 1200m, his position was disadvantageous and the draw unfavorable; his closing speed was slightly lacking. The jockey and trainer partnership did not stand out, but he has won twice in this race category previously, and his timing within the field is acceptable; a surprise run is possible.
