Three weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse performed exceptionally well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear before making a strong late run in the final two sections at a fast pace to finish third. He was beaten only by half a length and showed good ability. This time benefiting from a three-pound weight reduction, with proven form over this trip and competitive sectionals amongst its group, the tactics will be to settle back and rely on a strong finishing kick which is expected to be the best in the field. The horse appears to have a favorable draw and possesses greater overall strength compared to other contenders. Both jockey and trainer are well-matched with the horse, increasing their chances of success.
