Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and showing acceleration in the middle stages with a strong finish. He finished fifth, beaten two lengths. This time, he benefits from a one-pound weight reduction, has previously won twice at this distance, recorded the best time among his group, and draws a favorable barrier. The tactics will be to settle back and rely on a strong finishing kick, which is considered the strongest in the field. His overall form looks good, and he possesses superior ability compared to other contenders. The jockey understands the horse's capabilities, however, there’s some disconnect between the trainer and jockey pairing – a better match would be ideal.
