Three weeks ago, over a Happy Valley 1200m, the horse underperformed, breaking slowly and settling towards the back. The leader set a strong pace, but it finished within three and a half lengths of the winner. A subsequent dirt trial over 1200m sees this horse race without any weight reduction. Despite drawing an advantageous inside barrier, its group time wasn’t impressive. This race will likely see it held up in midfield or towards the back, however, it lacks the finishing kick to compete with rivals. Trainer and jockey don't appear well-matched, suggesting a change of tactics may be needed.
