Seven days ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, jumping moderately and settling towards the rear before accelerating strongly in the final two sections to finish third, beaten by a length and a half. Maintaining a good level of form, it runs again within two weeks carrying only one pound more this time. With proven results over this course and distance, and favorable timings within its group, a hold-up tactic emphasizing finishing speed is expected. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, with some familiarity regarding the horse’s capabilities; despite drawing an outside barrier which isn't ideal, trainer-jockey communication appears limited, potentially requiring a change in approach.
