Five weeks ago, this horse ran disappointingly over a Happy Valley 1200m, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He maintained a steady pace but lacked a strong finish. Now stepping up to a straight course race for the first time, he will carry two pounds more this time, shortening the distance is unfavorable, and drawing a poor barrier position puts him at a disadvantage. Despite being able to track the leaders, his prospects are limited to a trial run.
