Three weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over a Happy Valley sprint, with a slow start but settling towards the rear. It showed strong late momentum and was beaten three and a half lengths, finishing seventh. Now stepping up to a Happy Valley 1200m for its first attempt at this distance, it will carry an additional sixteen pounds this time. The distance is expected to suit, and the barrier draw is favorable. A hold-up tactic is anticipated, with a strong finishing kick being its greatest asset compared to the competition. Trainer and jockey maintain a good rapport, and the horse has been undergoing targeted work leading up to the race, suggesting improvement is expected.
