Three weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over the same distance, settling in a good position tracking the leaders but fading significantly in the middle stages. Last time out, it will carry seven pounds more weight this race. Having secured two wins at this track previously and with comparable times against its rivals, it looks capable of leading early. The barrier draw is favorable, and there's a good rapport between trainer and jockey. Pre-race work appears positive, and a clean break should see it attempt to take the lead.
