Six weeks ago, this horse performed well in a Happy Valley sprint, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear. He showed a strong late run, finishing only two lengths behind, taking sixth place. Now switching to a Happy Valley 1200m race for his first attempt at this distance, he benefits from a five-pound weight reduction. The distance is expected to suit his running style; a hold-up tactics is preferred with a potentially strong finishing kick being his best asset. Despite drawing a less favorable barrier, the horse is still considered capable of causing an upset.
