BUNDLE OF CHARMTwo weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Happy Valley 1200m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a finishing surge. He finished seventh, beaten three lengths. Returning to dirt over 1200m for his first start on that surface, he will carry four pounds less this time. Having previously won twice at this distance and with competitive times recorded, he is expected to race from the back of the field relying on a strong finishing kick. Trainer and jockey appear to have a good understanding, and the horse is showing positive signs; however, despite drawing an outside barrier, the situation isn't ideal and a patient ride will be required.
