Four weeks ago, this horse ran below expectations in a dirt 1200m race, tracking the pace setters but failing to sustain its effort and finishing fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. A subsequent turf trial over 1200m sees it enter this race with a three-pound weight reduction. The timing looks good and it has the potential to lead early. Despite drawing an outside barrier, its overall strength is noticeable compared to other horses; a clean break and intention to take the lead should see improvement.
