On May 8th, recorded a dirt trial over 1200m with sections of 2-2-1. Started quickly and continued to extend the lead. Four weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over a Happy Valley 1200m, jumping slowly but settling in behind the pace before finishing strongly. He finished sixth, beaten two and a half lengths. A recent barrier trial showed improvement. Making his debut on dirt over 1200m, he benefits from a nine-pound weight reduction this time, though the distance may not be ideal. Drawing an outside barrier suggests a hold-up tactics will be employed; however, his finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals and the overall situation isn’t favorable. Recommend observing another race before considering a bet.
