Four weeks ago, this horse ran well over the same distance, tracking the leader. It showed good acceleration in the middle stages, maintaining a strong pace and finishing fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. This time it will carry 2 pounds more weight. Expected to settle in a good position tracking the leaders with an advantageous inside draw, the horse appears to have a competitive advantage based on its overall ability. Lyle Hewitson takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse; trainer and jockey appear compatible, and connections are showing confidence.
