Five weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, settling in a good position tracking the leaders before accelerating strongly over the final two sections to finish third, beaten only two lengths – demonstrating a high level of ability. This time, he avoids any weight increase and has previously secured two wins at this distance. The pace is expected to be competitive, allowing him to track the leading horses or even set the pace himself. With good cooperation between trainer and jockey, despite an outside draw, his finishing speed may not be ideal, but a clean break should allow him to maintain a forward position and contend for a place.
