Four weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse ran well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear before making a mid-race move and finishing second to Red Lioness, beaten by half a length. A recent dirt trial (1200m: 7-7-2) showed some improvement, though its initial jump was slightly sluggish; it made progress along the straight. Now moving up in class, this time carrying only a three-pound increase, having previously won twice over this distance and with comparable times to rivals, the horse is expected to race from behind utilizing strong finishing kick which is considered among the best in its group. The trainer and jockey have a stable relationship, and the horse appears to be improving; it has the potential to significantly impact the outcome of the race.
