Two weeks ago, over this same distance, the performance was acceptable despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. The horse demonstrated strong momentum while chasing for fourth place, finishing beaten two and a half lengths. This time benefiting from a three-pound weight reduction, having shown previous form over this course and distance, with comparable times to rivals, and drawing a favorable barrier, a hold-up tactic is expected with an emphasis on a strong finishing kick. The horse appears to have a competitive edge compared to other contenders, the jockey has some familiarity with the horse's capabilities, trainer and jockey are well aligned, and preparation work seems thorough; suggesting good constitution and potential.
