Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse ran well, settling in a good position tracking the leaders before accelerating quickly in the final two sections to finish second, beaten by half a length. A recent turf trial over 1000m showed a decent early pace and overall performance. This time needing to carry an additional five pounds, it possesses the best time amongst its group and has the potential to track the leading pace-setters; capable of leading or stalking, with a favorable draw despite being on the outside. It demonstrates clear strength compared to other contenders, and the jockey change to Zac Purton is expected to be a positive move for both horse and trainer. Showing good form, as long as it jumps cleanly and maintains a forward position, securing a place in the top finishers seems achievable.
