On 6/5, the horse completed a dirt trial over 1050m in times of 5-3-3, showing early effort but lacking a strong finish. Four weeks ago, in a similar distance race, performance was below expectations; a slow jump led to settling towards the back before making up ground with fast sections later on, finishing sixth beaten two and a half lengths. One barrier trial showed slight improvement. This time no additional weight will be carried, having proven records over this distance and comparable times within its group. An inside draw has been secured, suggesting a hold-up tactics; strong finishing kick expected among the field, and overall shape is favorable for contention.
