Five weeks ago over the same distance, despite finishing among the leaders, this horse was slow out of the gate and settled towards the rear. He maintained a steady pace but lacked strong momentum, finishing third beaten two lengths. This time he does not need to carry additional weight, however has drawn a poor barrier requiring a hold-up tactics. The finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals, making the situation unfavorable despite having three previous wins over this course and distance, with similar times in the group. There doesn't appear to be much tactical advantage.
