G LINER

Four weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed poorly, missing the break and settling towards the rear. He maintained a steady pace but lacked a strong finish. A recent barrier trial showed satisfactory performance. This time, he needs to carry two pounds more, faces a time difference within his group, and the draw isn't ideal. Despite potential early speed, training has been positive, but opportunities appear limited. Recent dirt trial (1200m: 1-1-4), travelled close to the rail with a good pace throughout the final section.
