Three weeks ago, over the same distance, despite running towards the front and taking an early lead, the pace was steady and lacked a strong push, resulting in second place beaten by one and a half lengths. Stepping up in class for this race with a six-pound weight reduction, the timing isn’t ideal and the barrier draw is unfavorable. The trainer and jockey don't seem to be a good match. Although it has performed well over this distance before, securing a good barrier and being able to lead won’t guarantee success; the jockey understands the horse’s temperament but its chances appear limited.
