Six weeks ago, this horse ran poorly in a straight course race, settling in a good position tracking the leaders at a steady pace but lacking a finishing surge. A recent barrier trial showed no improvement. This will be its debut over a Happy Valley sprint distance; it carries a one-pound deduction but faces an unfavorable track condition and distance. However, it appears capable of tracking the leading pace-setters and has a reasonable barrier draw. As long as it jumps cleanly and settles in, a forward position is achievable.
