Last run winner, a month ago this horse ran exceptionally well in a straight course race, leading from start to finish for an easy victory by two lengths. Stepping up in class, he then tried Happy Valley over 1200m. This time carrying a nine-pound weight reduction and facing weaker opposition timing-wise, but drawing a poor barrier, the plan is to settle back in the field. However, his finishing kick wasn’t strong enough for the rivals, looking unfavorable. Despite good preparation from trainer and jockey, he doesn't appear likely to feature this time.
