Last run winner, four weeks ago over the same distance, performed exceptionally well leading throughout and showing a strong finishing kick to win comfortably by two lengths. Moving up in class this time with a 12lb weight reduction, having previously won twice at this course and distance, and with comparable times to other horses in the field, it has the potential to track the leaders or set the pace. Drawing a favorable barrier, it appears stronger than its rivals; trainer and jockey have confidence, and should jump cleanly, is expected to contend for a forward position.
