On May 20th, during a dirt trial over 1200m (sections recorded as 2-2-2), the horse travelled comfortably tracking the leaders and maintained a consistent speed down the straight. Five weeks ago in a similar dirt trial, it followed the pace setters but lacked acceleration throughout the sections. A recent barrier trial showed slight improvement. Dropping back in class for its next start, this time carrying six pounds less weight, it's considered to have a weak finishing kick and an unfavorable position. Despite having seven wins from nineteen starts over this distance, and comparable times within the group, drawing a good barrier offers a chance to lead, but isn’t expected to be competitive in this race.
