MUST GO

Four weeks ago, this horse won over the same distance, displaying a decent performance despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. With a strong finishing kick under jockey Zac Purton, it secured victory by one and a half lengths. A recent dirt trial (1050m: 3-4-4) saw the horse respond keenly with light urging. This time, the horse will carry an additional 13 pounds. It has four wins from thirteen starts at this distance, recording the fastest time amongst its rivals, and benefits from a favorable inside draw. Given its ability, it is considered a strong contender in this race; trainer and jockey are aligned in their preparation, enhancing its chances of defending its title.
