Last run winner, three weeks ago over the same distance, performed well, settled in a good position tracking the leaders and showed strong stamina to take the win. This time needing to carry seven pounds more, this distance suits him, possessing the best time within his group, he has the potential to challenge the frontrunners and could lead or track the pace. His finishing kick is the strongest in the field, enjoys a favorable situation, and clearly possesses an advantage in this race. Horse, jockey and trainer are well-matched, with gatework practice indicating readiness; a clean break and commitment to tracking the leaders should see him perform well.
