Previous to that competition on October 1, the Pierre Ng Pang Chi-trained gelding confirmed plethora of word when successful an all-weather trial over 1,050m, and the Mauritian rider has refuse considerations over the exchange in floor.
“The trial before his first run showed he handles the all-weather pretty well,” Teetan stated. “He’s very flexible, and I’m taking a look ahead to using him. I feel he’s an excessively mischievous horse, and if he will get the suitable run, he’s taking to be very aggressive.
“There aren’t too many 1,200m races on the turf for him. There was one, but it was too soon after his last run. We thought he trialled pretty well on the all-weather and said let’s give him a go on it.”
