Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before unleashing a strong late surge to finish second, beaten by only half a length. This time with a one-pound weight reduction but an unfavorable barrier draw, a hold-up tactics is expected; however, its finishing kick may not match rivals. While the current sectional times are competitive and the horse/jockey combination appears harmonious, trainer and jockey still have confidence in each other, suggesting potential for a strong performance.
