Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Happy Valley 1200m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a finishing surge, beaten two and a half lengths for eighth. Now stepping up to a Happy Valley mile this time with a one-pound weight reduction, the distance should suit him and he’s drawn well, offering an opportunity to lead. Based on the horse's ability, he is the standout in this race. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, gaining some familiarity with the horse, and trainer and jockey appear well matched. A clean break and a determined effort to lead are expected."
