On June 24th (dirt trial 1200m: 7-7-5), the horse broke slowly and settled towards the rear, running quietly in the straight. Four weeks ago over the same distance, it showed a strong performance, settling well tracking the leaders before accelerating in the final two sections with good speed to finish second, losing by half a length. One barrier trial was completed with satisfactory results. The horse’s weight has dropped twenty-six pounds. This race requires carrying six extra pounds and is matched against similarly timed opponents; it has the potential to track the pace setters, potentially leading, enjoying a favourable racing setup. Considering its relative strength, the trainer and jockey relationship is positive. Despite drawing an outside barrier, if it jumps cleanly and settles in, it's expected to improve.
