Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed satisfactorily despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. It showed a strong late run. This time it will carry one pound more weight, but its group timing is not impressive. It’s expected to race from behind again, however, its finishing kick may not be as strong as its rivals. The barrier draw isn't ideal, and trainer-jockey combination isn't optimal. Positively, the horse has two wins at this distance previously and drawing an inside barrier. Luke Ferraris takes the ride, gaining some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, potentially influencing the race outcome.
