On May 12th (dirt trial 1200m: 1-1-1), the horse showed initiative and ran smoothly throughout. On April 24th (dirt trial 1200m: 5-5-3) he moved out after 200m, finishing a comfortable third. This horse is coming off a recent win two months ago over the same distance, performing well despite a slow start and settling towards the rear before launching a strong finish in the final sections to secure victory. Following a short break, it has completed two trials demonstrating improvement. It will carry seven pounds more this time but has previous successes over this course and recorded the fastest times among its group. Drawing a good barrier provides an opportunity for a clear run. Based on ability, it is considered the strongest contender in this race. The engagement of Zac Purton is significant, with the jockey having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities. Trainer and jockey appear to have a good rapport, and the horse is showing positive signs; a clean break should allow him to contend for a leading position.
