On September 11th (dirt trial 1200m: 1-1-6), showed a fast pace in the first two sections, finishing strongly on the straight. On August 27th (dirt trial 1200m: 4-5-4), was slightly urged over the final 200m with a good response. Making seasonal debut. Two trials demonstrated satisfactory performance. Switching stables for this start, and following a Happy Valley mile trial, he carries a five-pound weight reduction this time. Good times within his group, favorable barrier draw, likely to be held up in midfield, strong finishing kick compared to others in the same class. Trainer and jockey have good rapport, expected to perform well.
