STORMI

Three weeks ago, the horse delivered a strong performance over a dirt mile, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before accelerating in the final two sections with quick times. In a subsequent Happy Valley mile trial, this time carrying a 2lb weight reduction, the timing difference within its group was unfavorable, suggesting a disadvantageous situation, and the trainer-jockey combination appears mismatched. Despite drawing a good barrier, it is expected to race from behind, possessing the strongest finishing kick in the field. The jockey understands the horse’s temperament well but isn't optimistic about its chances in this race.
