On June 20th, (dirt trial 1200m: 7-7-6) the horse broke slowly and was held back in a stationary position during the straight. Five weeks ago over the same distance, performance was below expectations; a slow start saw it settle at the rear, making a mid-race move but fading towards the finish. A single barrier trial run wasn’t sufficient preparation. This time with a five-pound weight reduction and favorable section times within its group, the plan is to settle back and rely on a strong finishing kick – considered the strongest in its class. However, the overall situation isn't ideal; suited for placement."
