In his most recent run, the Richard Fahey’s trainee gave a tough time to his opponents, and managed to win by a neck's distance in the end.
He was given the best odds by the bookies back then as well, and he did not disappoint them.
Baccarat has never raced in class-2, which will be a big challenge for him. Luckily for him, his rivals are also inexperienced at this level, which will even things out in the end.
He will be partnered by seasoned jockey, Tony Hamilton, who has won quite a few races at this level. However, his strike rate is poor, which will discourage the punters.
