Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a strong performance over Happy Valley 1200m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making ground with a fast final two sections. Returning to its debut on dirt over 1200m, it now has a one-pound weight reduction for this race, having shown previous form over this distance. Its section times are comparable to those of its rivals, and drawing an inside barrier is beneficial. While a hold-up tactic may be employed again, the finishing kick isn't expected to match opponents; caution advised.
