Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over 1800m on the dirt track, jumping slowly and settling towards the back. He made a move in the middle stages but couldn't sustain it to the finish, finishing well-beaten. A subsequent turf trial over 2000m sees him with a two-pound weight reduction and an outside draw. The tactics will likely involve holding him back, however, his finishing kick is not expected to match rivals and the overall situation appears unfavorable. Despite this, his sectional times within the group are the best, suggesting a potential for contention for second place.
