From a wide barrier was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Between the 450M and the 350M was held up for clear running. When questioned regarding the improved performance, Trainer stated that at the horse’s last start it had failed to run out a strong 1600M when it obtained a forward position from an inside barrier. He said following that run he sent the horse to his Conghua stable where it barrier trialed well on 14 February 2025. He said as a result he had expected the horse to run reasonably well. He said he also issued the same instructions to rider as he did to the horse’s rider on 29 December 2024 when the horse ran well when ridden in a conservative manner from the outside barrier and that, in his opinion, was the principal reason for the horse’s improvement - Race 447.
