Three weeks ago, this horse ran poorly on the dirt mile, slow out of the gate and settling towards the rear. He maintained a steady pace but lacked a strong finish, finishing well-beaten. A recent trial showed slight improvement. On 13/3 (dirt trial 1200m: 7-6-3), he jumped quickly and was urged to finish third under pressure. This time, racing over the same dirt track with a five-pound weight reduction, facing comparable times in his group, and drawing an inside barrier, a hold-up tactics is expected, showing good finishing speed and potential to be competitive.
