Three weeks ago over the same distance, the performance was reasonable despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. The horse showed a strong finishing effort to take fourth, beaten two lengths. This time with a 2lb weight reduction, having previously won three times at this distance and comparable sectionals within the group, drawing a favorable barrier, trainer and jockey appear to have a good understanding. Work has been done well but the situation isn't entirely advantageous; a slow start is anticipated.
