HAMERONFour weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was unsatisfactory; a slow start saw it settle towards the rear and make a late run with fast sections. It finished sixth, beaten two and a half lengths. This time carrying a four-pound weight reduction, despite having secured two wins at this distance and comparable section times to its rivals, drawing a good barrier provides an advantageous position. Compared to other competitors, it possesses a higher level of ability. Luke Ferraris takes the ride, understanding the horse's weaknesses but requiring a hold-up tactic; however, its finishing kick is inferior to opponents, and trainer-jockey synergy appears limited – suggesting a trailing finish is most likely.
