Three weeks ago, over this same distance, the performance was reasonable despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. The horse demonstrated a strong finishing move, only beaten by one and a half lengths for fifth place. This time carrying a two-pound weight reduction, it should be able to secure a good position tracking the leaders, which is advantageous. Compared to other competitors, this horse possesses relatively stronger ability; trainer and jockey are in agreement, though recent trial form has been unremarkable. Despite drawing a poor barrier, its finishing kick warrants consideration.
