Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed poorly with a slow start and settled at the back. It maintained a steady pace but lacked any significant acceleration. This time, the horse has a two-pound weight reduction; however, it has failed to win in four attempts over this course and distance and faces competition from horses with faster times. While the barrier draw is favorable, its overall situation isn't ideal, though an inside draw allows for a potential late surge.
