Two weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was adequate. The jump wasn’t quick, settling towards the rear, but showed a strong late run. Beaten only two lengths, finishing fifth. This time, no weight reduction, with a reasonable group timing and a favorable barrier draw. Connections feel the situation is not unfavorable, switching to jockey Jerry Chau who has some understanding of the horse's capabilities. The trainer and jockey appear cooperative and are confident.
