Last run winner, six weeks ago this horse delivered an outstanding performance over a Happy Valley 1200m, leading from start to finish to secure the win. Stepping up in class and switching to a Happy Valley sprint for its first attempt at this distance, it will carry 11 pounds less this time. The distance is unfavorable, requiring a hold-up strategy, but its finishing kick isn’t as strong as rivals, making the situation difficult. Despite drawing a good barrier and a decent trainer-jockey combination, this race is considered a trial run.
