Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse performed well, taking an early lead and responding with a strong push in the middle stages. It was chased by La Stella, finishing second beaten half a length – a close result demonstrating high level form. This time, it benefits from a one-pound weight reduction; its past performance at this distance is solid, and the timing within its group looks good. Capable of challenging for the lead, with a favourable barrier draw, this horse possesses a noticeable strength advantage over other contenders. The trainer and jockey are in agreement, however the overall situation isn't entirely favorable, but it’s hoped to finish closely.
