A month ago, this horse ran poorly on the dirt mile, slow out of the gates and settling towards the back with a steady pace but no impressive surge, finishing well-beaten. Returning to Happy Valley over a mile, he faces a 1lb weight increase for this race. He has five wins from thirty-two starts at this distance, boasts good times in comparison to rivals, and possesses the ability to track the leading pace setters; capable of racing on speed. Despite an unfavorable draw, as long as he jumps cleanly and maintains position, securing a forward placing is achievable.
