On May 20th, recorded times of (dirt trial 1200m: 5-6-5) with moderate urging and acceleration. Six weeks ago over dirt 1200m, the horse ran well, jumping slowly but finishing strongly to take second place, beaten two and a half lengths. One barrier trial completed, not fully extended. Making its debut on dirt mile this time, needing to carry an additional five pounds, the distance is expected to suit. Expect a hold-up tactic with a strong finishing kick anticipated; trainer and jockey have confidence in each other. Despite drawing an outside barrier, connections remain optimistic about redeeming their previous performance.
