Two weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was decent. A slow jump meant settling towards the rear, but showed a strong late run to finish second, only beaten by half a length. This time no additional weight is required and the horse has good times relative to its competition; drawing a favorable barrier presents a positive situation. Based on ability, this horse is the standout in this race. Harry Bentley takes the ride, with the jockey having some understanding of the horse’s capabilities. Workouts have been intensified, though a hold-up tactic is anticipated which may result in a weaker finishing kick compared to rivals. Trainer and jockey combination appears less cohesive; hoping for a close finish.
