On August 29th (dirt trial 1200m: 3-3-3), the horse showed an open stride. This is his seasonal debut, following one barrier trial where he displayed slight improvement. He has a three-pound weight reduction for this race and has previous form over this distance. The time of horses in the same group was reasonable, and drawing an inside barrier is advantageous. Despite needing to be held back early on, his finishing kick may not match rivals, presenting a less favorable scenario but still capable of showing its true ability.
