Seven days ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. It showed a strong late run and finished sixth, beaten by one and a half lengths. Racing again within two weeks, it will carry an additional pound this time. The distance suits, its rivals are of comparable ability, and it has drawn a good barrier offering favorable prospects. The jockey understands the horse's temperament well, with a solid trainer-jockey relationship; further improvement is expected.
