ROBOT KNIGHT

Last ran winner, whose impressive performance over 1200m on dirt five weeks ago saw him settle well and maintain a steady pace, gradually closing in to win. In his subsequent run over 1200m on turf, the time was respectable with a decent draw, allowing him to maintain an advantageous forward position. He is among the highest-rated horses for this race, with consistent cooperation between trainer and jockey. However, he needs to carry two extra pounds in this race; having failed in his last five starts, his closing burst has been slightly diminished, though he still possesses the capability to contend for a win.
