SYMBOL OF STRENGTH

Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a poor performance over dirt 1200m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with an even pace but failing to show any acceleration. He was well-beaten in his last run. Switching to Happy Valley over 1200m now for his debut at this distance, he benefits from a three-pound weight reduction, though the distance is not ideal and the draw isn't favorable. Fortunately, he has secured a good barrier position which may aid his chances.
