Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was poor with a slow jump and settled towards the rear. Maintaining a steady pace throughout, it lacked a strong finish but wasn't beaten far, finishing seventh by two and a half lengths. This time, the horse will carry an additional two pounds. Although proven at this distance and holding its own in terms of times against competitors, it is capable of settling in a good position tracking the leaders; however, drawing a poor barrier compromises its chances. Hopeful for a respectable run.
