GLORIOUS EXPERTIn its last run at Happy Valley over 1200m, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the back before unleashing a strong finishing burst. Now stepping down to dirt for a 1200m race, it’s a first attempt at this distance. The horse will carry an additional 18 pounds this time but the distance is considered suitable and it has the potential to track the leaders or even set the pace. Its finishing kick is expected to be the strongest in its group, and overall form appears good; it holds a competitive edge over other entrants. Luke Ferraris takes the ride, understanding the horse's temperament, and training has been positive. A clean break should allow it to secure a forward position with a strong chance of finishing amongst the top contenders.
