Form & Verdict

Pleasing debut effort when fourth over C&D in January but hung left and finished much nearer last than first on his only start since; excused that effort based on abnormal scope post-race but has been handed a difficult draw for this retrieval mission.

Debutant; sire was a Group 1-winning sprinter and the dam was placed at just shy of 1m; some speed in the pedigree, therefore, but has looked generally unimpressive in barrier trials; one to watch with a view to the future.

Did not go unbacked prior to his debut over this trip at Happy Valley in January, and made good on the support by finishing a close-up fourth; the form of that race has been boosted since and he has performed reasonably well in barrier trials since; one for the shortlist.

Unplaced but not entirely disgraced in two starts so far (both C&D) but a greater concern is the fact that he has twice been withdrawn at the start after becoming fractious pre-race or in the stalls; has a handy draw to work with but a watching brief advised for the time being.

Form & Verdict

Has offered little in three starts over 5f, even though his half-brother Goko has excelled over that trip in Hong Kong; so, this step up in trip is not necessarily going to see him in a better light but the handicapper is at least starting to relent; hard to fancy nonetheless.

Form & Verdict

An 11-race maiden but has finished in the frame over C&D from higher marks in the past and was a creditable fourth just eight days ago; one to consider from an each-way perspective.

Form & Verdict

Capitalised on the drop into Class 5 company when winning over C&D in January but is 0-16 when racing in this grade; something to prove after disappointing over 7f eight days ago.
