Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before unleashing a strong late run to finish second, beaten by one and a half lengths. This time with an eight-pound weight reduction and drawing an outside barrier, the plan is to settle him towards the rear. However, his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, making for a less favorable situation. Given two previous wins at this distance and decent times within the group, trainer and jockey still maintain trust, suggesting a potential victory.
