Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed impressively, taking the lead and finishing strongly in the final two sections with a fast time. He finished fifth, beaten two and a half lengths. This race benefits from a two-pound weight reduction, has proven form over this distance, and comparable times to rivals. Drawing a favorable barrier allows for a forward run, and the current conditions are positive. Zac Purton takes the ride, creating a good horse-jockey-trainer combination. A clean break is expected, aiming for a prominent position should not be difficult.
