On September 3rd (dirt trial 1200m: 7-7-8), the horse responded to pressure on the turn and finished with a decent kick after being urged. On August 26th (dirt trial 1200m: 10-10-9), it travelled wide throughout, tracking comfortably. This is its seasonal debut having undergone two barrier trials which may not have been sufficient preparation. It carries an additional two pounds this time and has three previous wins over this distance; the sectionals are comparable to others in the same group. Despite drawing a poor barrier, connections remain cautiously optimistic and believe it can still be competitive.
