Four weeks ago over the same distance, the horse performed well, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before unleashing a strong late run to finish second, beaten by half a length. This time, he doesn't need to carry any additional weight, has proven form at this distance, and benefits from favorable timing within the field. He is expected to race from behind, relying on his finishing kick which is a key strength against this group. The horse appears in good shape with solid ability, making him the strongest contender in this race. The jockey has some understanding of the horse’s capabilities, and trainer-jockey relationship remains harmonious, with gatework suggesting a potential challenge for the lead.
