On August 26th (dirt trial 1200m: 4-4-3), ridden by Lassik, accelerated in the third section. This is his seasonal debut after one barrier trial showing slight improvement. Moving up in class, he will try dirt over 1200m again. He benefits from a 13lb weight reduction this time and has comparable times to other horses in the group. Expected to track the leaders or even set the pace, the horse is in good form and demonstrates noticeable strength compared to rivals. The jockey understands his temperament and trainer/jockey relationship is solid; a clean break should see him comfortably finish among the frontrunners.
