ALL ROUND WINNER

Three weeks ago, the horse performed reasonably well over a Happy Valley mile, tracking the leaders from a good position and finishing only three and a half lengths behind despite being well-weighted. Moving to the dirt over a mile, this was his debut at this distance; the circumstances weren't favorable and he drew an unfavorable draw, with little apparent chemistry between jockey and trainer. However, his late run was the strongest in the field, and as the distance is suited to him, he can be considered a potential outsider.
