ALL EYES ON ME

On September 23rd (dirt trial 1200m: 9-7-9), the horse showed no response when urged late in the trial. On September 5th (dirt trial 1200m: 3-3-7) it lacked stamina and dropped back after being prompted at the 200m mark. This is its seasonal debut, having only completed two barrier trials which weren’t sufficient preparation. Another dirt mile trial was undertaken, with a four-pound weight reduction for this race; however, the overall time of its group wasn't impressive, necessitating a hold-up strategy. Finishing kick proved inferior to rivals and despite drawing an inside barrier and undergoing gatework practice, chances appear limited.
