Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was unsatisfactory with a slow start and settling towards the rear. The horse showed a strong late run but was beaten three lengths, finishing fifth. This time benefiting from a three-pound weight reduction, facing similarly timed competition, and requiring a hold-up tactic, it possesses a good finishing kick. Trainer and jockey appear to have a strong rapport, preparations are complete, despite drawing an unfavorable barrier which impacts its chances.
