On August 26th, (dirt trial 1200m: 8-7-6) the horse was urged along the rail and made some ground. This is his first run of the season. He has completed one barrier trial with unremarkable results. No additional weight this time; he has won four races from seventeen starts over this distance, with competitive section times within the group. Drawing an inside barrier provides a favorable position, and the horse's ability appears relatively strong compared to rivals. The jockey is beginning to understand the horse’s capabilities. Although expected to race towards the rear, his finishing kick may not be as strong as opponents, making the situation less advantageous. Trainer-jockey combination isn’t ideal but winning potential remains.
