Last ran winner delivered an excellent performance in a dirt mile three weeks ago, maintaining his position and gradually chasing down to win. In the subsequent dirt 1200m run, he will carry six pounds more in this race and is facing a time gap within the same group, making his prospects less favorable. His drawn barrier position is also not ideal, and his late burst of speed was slightly inferior; however, the jockey's familiarity with the horse and the cohesive strategy between jockey and trainer warrant caution.
