On October 27th, the horse completed a dirt trial over 1050m in running positions of 3-2-8, maintaining pace throughout and finishing steadily. Four weeks ago, in a similar distance trial, performance was poor with a slow start and settling towards the rear; a steady pace but lacking a strong finish. One barrier trial showed no significant improvement. This race features a two-pound weight reduction, but a disadvantageous draw within its group. Despite five wins from 41 starts over this course, it appears unlikely to be competitive even with diligent preparation.
