Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Happy Valley 1200m, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He made a strong effort in the middle stages, challenging for fourth place, finishing beaten two and a half lengths. Another trial was conducted over a Happy Valley sprint distance, and this time benefits from a six-pound weight reduction. Although he has previously won twice at this distance, his rivals have good times, and drawing a favorable barrier provides an opportunity to lead. Considering the horse’s relative strength, trainer and jockey are in good synergy, but the overall situation is not particularly advantageous and may need to be held back initially.
