Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed poorly, jumping slowly and settling towards the back with a steady pace but lacking any significant acceleration. He finished sixth, beaten three and a half lengths. This time he needs to carry two pounds more weight and is expected to race from behind, however, his finishing kick may not be as strong as the competition. The situation isn’t particularly favorable, despite having some results over this distance, the times of horses in this group are relatively similar, and while the barrier draw is good, there doesn't appear to be a clear plan for success.
