ETERNAL FORTUNE

Six weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, jumping slowly but settling towards the rear before unleashing a strong late run to finish fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. A recent turf trial over 1000m (sections: 3-2-2) saw the horse travel comfortably throughout maintaining good rhythm. This time, it needs to carry an additional two pounds, but despite similar competition times, the barrier draw is favorable. The tactics will likely involve settling back in the field and relying on a strong finishing kick; its form suggests it's comparatively capable and should not be underestimated.
