Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed poorly, jumping slowly and settling towards the back with a steady pace but lacking any impressive acceleration. He finished sixth, beaten three lengths. This time benefiting from a four-pound weight reduction, the plan is to again settle him towards the rear, however, his finishing kick may not be strong enough to compete with rivals. While having previous form over this distance and comparable times within the group, drawing an inside barrier isn't expected to significantly improve his chances in this race.
