On August 30th, during a turf trial over 1000m, the horse showed good speed and maintained a relaxed demeanor. This is his first appearance this season, following one satisfactory barrier trial indicating improvement. He will carry seven pounds more in this race; he has previous records at this distance and comparable times to horses in the same group, showing potential for an early lead. Despite drawing an outside barrier, a clean break and intent to lead should see him secure a forward position.
