On May 8th, the horse completed a dirt trial over 1200m in sections of 5-5-3, showing promising effort while tracking along the rail. Four weeks ago, it ran a respectable race over a Happy Valley 1200m, jumping slowly but finishing strongly from behind with a good late surge to secure third place, beaten by only half a length. A recent barrier trial indicated slight improvement. Now switching to a Happy Valley mile for its debut at this distance, the horse carries an additional three pounds. The distance is expected to suit it and has drawn a favorable barrier. Expect a hold-up tactics with a strong finishing kick as its main advantage within the field. Both horse and jockey appear well matched, suggesting potential for a competitive performance.
