Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was acceptable. The horse settled in a good position tracking the leaders and made a move in the middle stages but faded towards the finish. He finished seventh, beaten three and a half lengths. This time he needs to carry four pounds more weight, which isn’t an ideal scenario despite having secured three wins over this distance previously. His sectional times are reasonable compared to rivals, showing potential for an early lead. The barrier draw is not unfavorable, but he's not considered a leading contender in the race.
