Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start and settling towards the rear with a steady pace. It finished fifth, beaten two and a half lengths after being challenged by Russian Emperor. This time, it carries no additional weight; although victorious over this distance three times previously, the competition is relatively even. With a favorable barrier draw and a stable trainer-jockey partnership, the horse will likely adopt a hold-up strategy but may lack the finishing kick to compete effectively, making its chances moderate at best.
