GASTRONOMIQUETwo weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Happy Valley 1200m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with an even pace but lacking any impressive sections. Now stepping up to a Happy Valley mile for its first attempt, it will carry an additional two pounds. It has drawn a favorable barrier and is expected to race from behind. Showing the strongest finishing kick in the field, the horse appears to be in good form. The jockey understands how to control the pace; however, the distance increase may not suit, and there’s a lack of synergy between trainer and jockey, suggesting it could be an outsider with potential for an upset.
