Two weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear before making a strong move in the final two sections with good momentum. It finished third, beaten by two and a half lengths – a respectable performance. This time, the horse has a one-pound weight reduction. Having already won three races at this distance, it's competitively matched against its rivals. Able to secure a good position tracking the leaders, and drawing a favorable barrier, this horse holds a definite advantage in this race. The jockey has some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, however the current circumstances aren’t ideal and the trainer-jockey combination isn’t particularly strong – potentially hindering its performance.
