Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly in a Happy Valley sprint, slow out of the gate and settling towards the rear. He showed a strong late run to finish fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. Now stepping up to a Happy Valley 1200m for its debut at that distance, it carries a one-pound weight reduction this time. The distance should suit, with the potential to settle in a good position tracking the leaders. Despite an unfavorable barrier draw and a potentially weak finishing kick, the horse is not considered a leading contender.
