On 2/9 (dirt trial 1200m: 1-1-2), showed a fast pace in second and demonstrated improved stamina. Returning after a long break, this is the horse's first run of the season. A recent barrier trial indicated slight improvement. Making its debut for a new stable and switching to dirt over 1200m, running this distance for the first time, it carries a two-pound weight reduction this race. The current distance may not suit; a hold-up tactics is expected but finishing kick was weaker than rivals, unfavorable conditions suggest observing one more run before assessing potential.
