Two weeks ago, this horse performed well in a Happy Valley sprint, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before showing a strong late surge. A subsequent dirt trial over 1200m saw the horse receive a three-pound weight reduction; however, it has failed to place in three attempts at this distance, presenting an unfavorable situation. Despite comparable times within its group, a hold-up tactics will likely be employed, relying on a strong finishing kick which is considered among the best in the field. Trainer and jockey maintain a reasonable level of trust, though prospects for this race are uncertain.
