Three weeks ago, this horse ran in a Happy Valley long-distance race, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear but maintaining a steady pace without a strong surge. A subsequent trial over 1800m at Happy Valley sees the horse running this time with no added weight. The distance suits, and its times within the group are good, suggesting it has the potential to lead. Despite drawing a poor barrier, if it jumps cleanly and commits to leading, securing a forward position should be achievable.
