On October 23rd, the horse completed a dirt trial over 1200m (sections 9-9-9), focusing on improving its fitness. Four weeks ago in a similar distance trial, it performed poorly, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear of the field at an even pace without showing a strong finish. One barrier trial was completed with unremarkable results. This time, there is no weight reduction; the section times are not favorable. However, having won twice over this distance previously, and drawing a good barrier, an upset win isn't ruled out.
