On September 27th, this horse recorded (Happy Valley turf trial 1700m: 5-5-5-1), taking a positive inside rail position and making a strong forward move. On September 11th, (dirt trial 1200m: 9-9-7) he had a slow start but made up significant ground down the straight. Returning after a long absence, this is his seasonal debut. Two trials have shown improvement. This race sees him carry no additional weight, however, he has drawn a poor barrier, necessitating a backmarker strategy. While his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, having secured three wins over this distance previously and recording comparable times within the group, trainer-jockey combination is solid; should not be underestimated.
