Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was good. The jump wasn’t quick, settling towards the rear but showing a strong finishing move to take third place, beaten by only half a length. This race benefits from a two-pound weight reduction. Although proven over this distance and with comparable times in the group, maintaining a good position tracking the leaders is key. The horse possesses higher overall ability than some rivals, and trainer/jockey communication is strong; however, the barrier draw is unfavorable and the finishing kick is a concern, hoping for a solid run.
