On May 29th (dirt trial 1200m: 9-9-4), the horse broke slowly and tracked along the rail at a relaxed pace. Five weeks ago over the same distance, it ran very impressively, jumping moderately and settling back before finishing with fast sections in the final two furlongs. A recent barrier trial was unremarkable. This race sees a four-pound weight reduction, requiring a hold-up tactic to utilize its strong finishing kick; form is good relative to the group. The draw is favorable, but despite differing sectionals within the field, trainer/jockey synergy appears limited, making it an outsider.
