On April 29th, (dirt trial 1200m: 4-4-2), the horse pushed hard for second place. Three weeks ago over the same distance, the performance was good; a slow start saw it settle towards the rear but with a strong finishing pace and only beaten three lengths. A recent barrier trial showed slight improvement. This race features a two-pound weight reduction, but a poor time difference within its group and an unfavourable draw mean a hold-up tactic is likely. While the finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals and the overall situation appears challenging, surprisingly AI algorithms suggest potential for success, sparking interest.
