POWER KOEPP

Four weeks ago, this horse secured a strong win over the same 1200m distance, settling in a good position tracking the leaders before accelerating strongly in the final two sections to win by a length and a half. A recent dirt trial (1200m: 5-6-6) saw it maintain a steady pace while held back in midfield. Now stepping up in class, the horse receives a 12lb weight reduction. Having previously won three races at this distance with competitive times, and drawing a favorable barrier, there's confidence between trainer and jockey. While expected to run from behind, its finishing speed may not match rivals, making its chances uncertain.
