Four weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was poor; led early with a steady pace but lacked a strong finish, finishing fifth beaten by one and a half lengths. This time, the horse has a six-pound weight reduction. Although it has won twice at this distance previously and is similarly timed to its rivals, despite drawing a good barrier, the trainer-jockey combination maintains trust, the overall situation isn't particularly favorable with expectations of a trailing position.
