Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed exceptionally well, jumping slowly but settling towards the rear before accelerating strongly in the final two sections to finish a close second, beaten by half a length. It’s carrying only a 2lb increase in weight for this race and appears to have good early speed within its group, drawing a favorable barrier. Compared to other contenders, it possesses superior ability, showing positive movement in training, but the current conditions aren't entirely advantageous, suggesting a potential need to hold back initially.
