On May 16th, a dirt trial over 1050m saw the horse accelerate with each section and displayed a calm demeanor. Four weeks ago in a similar distance trial, the performance was lackluster; a slow jump led to settling towards the rear, maintaining an even pace without a noticeable finishing burst. One barrier trial has shown slight improvement. This race sees no additional weight carried, favorable timings against its group, requiring a hold-up tactic with a strong finishing kick expected from within the field. The horse appears to have a good draw and the jockey is gaining understanding of the horse's capabilities; trainer and jockey are well-matched and seem confident in a forward performance.
