Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace. However, it responded to pressure and finished second, beaten by half a length. This time, no additional weight will be carried; having previously won three races at this distance, the timing appears good, and the barrier draw is favorable. The trainer and jockey have a solid rapport, but a hold-up tactics are anticipated which may prove insufficient given its weaker finishing kick compared to rivals, making its chances uncertain. It’s hoped the horse simply runs well.
