Four weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse performed well, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and making a mid-race effort with a strong pace. He finished fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. This time carrying six pounds less weight and facing unfavorable timing within the group, the plan is to settle towards the rear. However, his finishing kick isn’t as strong as rivals, resulting in an unfavourable situation; even with prior records over this distance, he's unlikely to be competitive in this race.
