Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Happy Valley 1200m, tracking the pace and launching an effort in the middle stages, maintaining a strong gallop to finish third. He was beaten only one length, demonstrating good form. A subsequent dirt trial over 1200m sees him with an eleven-pound weight reduction for this race; despite similar times amongst rivals, he’s drawn well and capable of tracking the pace, presenting a favourable situation. Jerry Chau takes the ride, appearing to suit the horse well, however, the horse has failed to place in three attempts over this distance. The trainer and jockey haven't had much success together, suggesting a holding pattern is likely.
