Three weeks ago, this horse ran poorly in a dirt trial over 1200m, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. Maintaining a steady pace throughout, it lacked any notable acceleration. In a subsequent Happy Valley turf trial over 1200m, he receives a six-pound weight reduction but drew a poor barrier. This time around, a hold-up tactics are expected; however, his finishing kick was inferior to rivals, presenting an unfavorable situation despite comparable section times within the group and no clear opportunity for improvement.
