RUN RUN SMART

Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear before picking up speed in the final two sections. He finished sixth, beaten three lengths. This time with a four-pound weight reduction but an unfavorable barrier draw, a hold-up tactic is expected; however, his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, presenting a challenging situation. Fortunately, he recorded the best time among competitors, making him one to watch.
