Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed impressively, settling in a good position tracking the leaders before accelerating strongly over the final two sections to finish second, beaten by half a length. He demonstrated a high level of form. This time, he carries only a 3lb penalty, with comparable sectionals to rivals. He has the ability to track the pace-setters and potentially lead himself, possessing a strong finishing kick among his competition. The horse enjoys a favorable situation and is considered a leading contender in this race. The jockey understands the horse's temperament well, and there’s mutual trust between jockey and trainer; a clean break should allow him to settle into a good position and challenge for victory.
