On September 30th (dirt trial 1050m: 3-5-5), was hampered at the 200m mark but showed a decent stride. On September 16th (turf trial 1000m: 2-4-6) began at a moderate pace and was urged forward. On September 5th (dirt trial 1050m: 7-8-7), slowed on the turn but responded well when prompted over the final two furlongs. Making seasonal debut. Three trials completed without standout performances. This race has a three-pound weight reduction, with previous wins at this distance. Comparable times within its group and an advantageous barrier draw create a favorable situation; appears fit and should not be underestimated.
