Last run winner, three weeks ago over the same distance, performed impressively. Jumped slowly and settled towards the back before accelerating in the final two sections with a fast time to win. This race requires carrying an additional six pounds; it has proven form at this distance, recording the best time among its group. A hold-up tactic is expected, possessing good finishing kick, and demonstrates a clear strength advantage over other horses. The jockey is gaining understanding of the horse’s capabilities, with trainer and jockey in strong rapport – potentially a dark horse contender.
