Temple remains a maiden after five starts, though he has shown consistent promise by placing in three of those outings. While he has struggled to find the winning post, his pedigree by Wootton Bassett out of a Galileo mare suggests he should have plenty of stamina and scope for improvement as he matures. His current rating of 77 looks fair, though he appears limited by a lack of an explosive turn of foot in the closing stages. He is best suited to handicaps over middle distances where he can dictate the pace or stay on strongly. Punters should view him as an each-way contender rather than a reliable win prospect until he proves he can handle the pressure of a finish.
