Four weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was poor; settled in a good position tracking the leaders at an even pace but without any significant acceleration. This time, it will carry three pounds more weight and has shown previous form over this course and distance with competitive times within its group. Drawing an inside barrier is advantageous, positioning it as a strong contender in this race. Matthew Poon takes the ride, and they appear to be a good pairing. However, even if forced to settle towards the rear, the finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals, and trainer-jockey communication seems lacking, indicating a potential mismatch.
