Last run winner, three weeks ago over the same distance, delivered an outstanding performance. Slow to jump, settled back in the field before making a strong late run with fast sectionals to take victory. This time required to carry seven pounds more this time; previously achieved two wins over this course and distance, recorded the fastest time amongst its group, drawing a favorable barrier. Expected to settle back in the field and rely on a finishing kick, appears well-positioned for success. Based on the horse’s ability, it is considered the strongest contender in this race, with good synergy between trainer and jockey, presenting a strong chance of defending its title.
