MUST GO

9/4 (Dirt trial 1200m: 8-8-7) Showed average form in the trial; recent performance is consistent with past levels. Three weeks ago, he ran over this distance but disappointed after a slow start; settling towards the rear, he lacked a finishing kick and finished well beaten. A recent trial suggests he is not yet fully prepared. Facing a disadvantageous run as a closer, his finishing power may not suffice against the field. There is no strong indication of synergy between trainer and jockey, but given he has secured five wins from 22 starts and has drawn an ideal barrier, he remains a minor consideration despite low expectations.
