Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the back before making a move in the middle stages and chasing Last Kingdom. He finished seventh, beaten three and a half lengths. This time benefiting from a two-pound weight reduction, with comparable times within the group, and drawing an inside barrier, the plan is to settle him towards the rear and rely on his finishing kick. Jerry Chau takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities; despite a potentially unfavorable situation and a trainer-jockey combination that isn't ideal, a win is considered possible.
