Two weeks ago, this horse delivered a poor performance over a dirt mile, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace but failing to show any improvement. Switching back to 1200m on dirt, it was his first attempt at this distance. He has a one-pound weight reduction for this race, however the distance is not ideal, resulting in a hold-up tactic. Unfortunately, his finishing kick wasn't strong enough and the overall situation isn’t favorable; it was treated as a barrier trial run.
