Four weeks ago, over this same distance, the performance was reasonable. A slow start saw the horse settle towards the rear, before making a mid-race move and finishing strongly. He was beaten by one and a half lengths, finishing seventh. This time with a two-pound weight reduction, despite similar times in the group, he’s drawn well and is expected to be held up for a late run, possessing the strongest finishing kick amongst his rivals. Trainer and jockey have a good understanding, however, the circumstances aren't ideal; hoping for a good performance.
