Two weeks ago, in a straight course race, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear and finishing with a strong run. A recent barrier trial showed satisfactory performance. Now switching to a Happy Valley 1200m race for its first attempt at this distance, it will carry one extra pound this time. This distance should suit the horse, and with a favorable barrier draw, a hold-up tactic utilizing its finishing kick could make it a contender – not to be underestimated.
