On May 27th (dirt trial 1200m: 9-9-6), the horse was held back in the early stages, then moved inwards on the straight and showed some chasing potential. Four weeks ago over the same distance, performance was unremarkable; a slow start saw it settle towards the rear, with a mid-race effort proving insufficient to close the gap. One barrier trial has been completed but wasn’t fully extended. This race sees a three-pound weight reduction, with comparable times in its group. Expecting a hold-up tactic, finishing kick is the strongest among its peers and the horse appears well positioned. Based on ability, this horse is the most likely winner of this race; jockey is gaining understanding of the horse's capabilities, but faces an outside draw and trainer/jockey combination lacks synergy.
