Three weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over the dirt 1200m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking any impressive sections. A subsequent turf trial over 1200m saw the horse receive a two-pound weight reduction; its time was comparable to others in the group. It appears capable of maintaining a forward position and potentially challenging the pace setters, presenting a favorable situation. The trainer and jockey have a good rapport. Despite three previous losses at this distance due to a weak finishing kick, a clean break and commitment to tracking the pace should see it contend for a place.
