Three weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over 1200m at Happy Valley, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and showing acceleration in the middle stages. He maintained a strong finish to secure fourth place, beaten by one and a half lengths. Another trial over a short course at Happy Valley followed. This time carrying a two-pound weight reduction, the horse has yet to win from four attempts over this distance, and appears to lack competitive speed within its group. Drawing an unfavorable barrier position doesn't help its chances; even if capable of tracking the pace setters or leading, it’s not considered a strong contender in this race.
