On 2/9 (dirt trial 1200m, running positions 8-8-7), the horse was slow to jump and showed some improvement over the final two furlongs. This is his debut run this season, following one barrier trial where he didn’t show significant speed. In a subsequent straight track trial, he will carry six pounds more this time, with a slower sectional time compared to horses in the same group, and has drawn a poor barrier. He's expected to settle towards the rear of the field but may lack the finishing kick needed to compete effectively, making his chances appear limited.
