Two weeks ago, this horse finished third in a dirt mile race, tracking the leaders but lacking strong momentum with an even pace. He was beaten by two lengths. In a subsequent trial over a Happy Valley mile, he will carry five pounds more weight this time and has comparable times to his rivals. Drawing a good barrier, a hold-up tactics is expected, relying on a strong finishing kick which is a key strength in the field. Based on the horse’s ability, he appears to be the strongest contender in this race; trainer and jockey have a mutual trust, suggesting a promising chance for redemption.
