Last run winner, two weeks ago over the same distance, performed well settling in a good position tracking the leaders and finishing strongly to win. This race requires carrying four pounds more weight. Although proven over this distance with good sectionals, facing strong competition, he has the potential to lead early, drawing a decent barrier. The jockey understands the horse's capabilities and the trainer-jockey combination is solid; focused on intensive training. However, lacking a strong finishing kick, the current form isn’t ideal and a backmarker strategy may be suitable.
