On September 23rd, (dirt trial 1200m: 3-3-2), the horse was held back slightly and relaxed over the final 200m with good momentum. This is his debut run this season. He has completed one barrier trial showing some improvement. For this race, he benefits from a one-pound weight reduction, and the time of the other horses in his group isn’t too bad. He looks capable of taking an early lead. Drawing well and undergoing gate work suggests a smooth break is expected; if he jumps cleanly, a forward position should be achievable.
