Fourteen days ago, this horse ran very impressively over a Happy Valley 1200m, settling towards the back of the field with a consistent pace throughout before making significant ground in the final stages to finish third, beaten just half a length. Returning to dirt over 1200m, the horse has yet to win in three attempts and faces a challenging situation. Settling back in previous races, a strong finishing kick may be lacking against this competition. The trainer-jockey combination hasn’t shown notable synergy, but the time figures remain respectable. A one-pound weight reduction this time warrants consideration.
