Last start, over this course and distance, the gelding ran a respectable race, showing early speed and making a mid-race move. He ultimately faded late to finish fourth, beaten two lengths. Receiving a one-pound weight relief for this assignment and having previously secured two wins at this trip, his form appears solid within the field. A positive start is crucial – should he secure an uncontested lead, he’s expected to improve significantly. The jockey possesses a strong understanding of the horse's temperament and enjoys the trainer’s continued confidence.
