On March 6th, in a turf trial over 1000m, the horse showed a strong late surge to finish third. Four weeks ago, over the same distance, it ran a respectable race, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear but finishing with good momentum. A recent barrier trial indicated slight improvement. Making its debut after transferring stables, the horse benefits from a five-pound weight reduction this time. However, it has failed to place in three previous attempts at this distance, and comparisons in timing suggest it’s disadvantaged against rivals. The anticipated tactics are to settle towards the rear, but its finishing kick is unlikely to be as strong as others; the prospects appear unfavorable despite a potentially good barrier draw.
