PACKING FIGHTER

Three weeks ago, the horse performed poorly in a mile on dirt; he was slow coming out of the gates and ran from off the pace with a steady, unremarkable run. Changing to Happy Valley over 1800m for his debut in this distance, he will carry an extra pound this time. The draw is unfavorable, and the jockey-trainer combination has not been ideal; however, he maintained a good position tracking the leaders and possesses second-tier finishing power in his group, making him a threat to watch.
