On September 11th, (dirt trial 1200m: 3-4-4) required some urging over the final furlong and showed limited improvement. This is the horse’s seasonal debut following one barrier trial with an acceptable performance. He carries only a two-pound weight increase for this race, running against horses with good times in the same group. Able to settle in a good position tracking the leaders, drawing an advantageous inside barrier, and having gate work leading up to the race. Considered a dark horse contender.
