Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed poorly with a slow start and settled at the back. He maintained a steady pace but lacked any impressive bursts of speed. This time he needs to carry four pounds more. Despite having some form over this distance and comparable times within the field, he’s drawn an inside barrier and is expected to race from behind, possessing the strongest finishing kick in the group. His overall form suggests he is the leading contender in this race and must be considered a serious threat.
