On April 24th, recorded an 8-8-3 in a dirt trial over 1200m, entering comfortably at a relaxed pace. Four weeks ago in the same distance race, delivered a very strong performance, jumping slowly but finishing with a fast two-section split after settling towards the rear. He finished third, beaten by half a length and demonstrating high potential. A recent barrier trial showed slight improvement. This time, no additional weight will be carried; times within the group are good, and he's drawn well, allowing for a pace-following strategy. Given this horse’s ability, he is a strong contender in this race. Zac Purton takes the ride, with the jockey having some understanding of the horse’s capabilities. The trainer and jockey appear to be aligned in their expectations; a clean break should allow him to settle comfortably and challenge for a forward position.
