On September 2nd (dirt trial 1200m, in running position of each section: 9-8-7), the horse made a move from the 300m mark to close ground. On August 22nd (dirt trial 1200m, in running position of each section: 8-7-7), he weakened on the straight. This is his seasonal debut after two barrier trials which didn’t fully showcase his potential. He has lost 30 pounds in body weight and will now face a Happy Valley mile, carrying one pound more this time. The time difference compared to other horses in the same group is unfavorable. Despite having six wins from thirty starts over this distance, even with a good barrier draw, he doesn’t appear to be a strong contender in this race.
