Four weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was respectable. A slow jump saw it settle towards the rear, but showed a strong late run to finish fourth, beaten by only half a length. This time no weight is added, with comparable times from this group, and drawing an inside barrier. The plan is again to settle back in the field, relying on a strong finishing kick which is its strength relative to the competition; advantageous positioning. Based on current form compared to other runners, it appears superior. Alexis Badel takes the ride, demonstrating understanding of the horse’s weaknesses, and deemed capable of winning.
