Three weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. Showing a strong late run, he finished second, beaten by half a length. A recent barrier trial showed only moderate form. This time, no additional weight will be carried, with a favorable draw in terms of timing. The plan is to settle back in the field and rely on a finishing kick; his form suggests an advantageous position. Compared to other horses in the race, he possesses clear superiority and should demonstrate his true ability with trainer-jockey confidence.
