On September 16th, (turf trial 1000m: 1-1-1), the horse stumbled slightly at the start but recovered well and made a strong move. This is his seasonal debut following one barrier trial showing improvement. He benefits from a six-pound weight reduction this time, having previously secured two wins over this distance. The sectionals are competitive, suggesting he can track the leaders comfortably. Expected to race forwardly, drawing a favorable barrier, and with gatework observed pre-race, a clean break should allow him to secure a good position.
