Three weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Happy Valley sprint, slow out of the gates and settling towards the back with a steady pace but no noticeable acceleration. A subsequent trial over 1200m at Happy Valley sees the horse carrying an additional pound this time. The distance suits, its times are comparable to rivals, and it has drawn a decent barrier. Expect a hold-up strategy relying on a strong finishing kick, making it one of the strongest finishers in its group. Overall form is good, and compared to other contenders, this horse appears superior. With Zac Purton taking the ride, there's anticipation for a successful partnership and potential for a winning performance.
