Six weeks ago, this horse ran well over a dirt 1200m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and finishing fourth with a strong early pace. A recent barrier trial showed slight improvement. Another dirt trial over 1200m on May 16th saw him take an early lead in third place, maintaining a calm demeanor. This time he will need to carry 15 pounds more this race, running against similarly timed horses and drawing an inside barrier. He is showing rapid improvement in form, but even if forced to settle back in the field, his finishing kick may not be strong enough, making his chances questionable.
