STORM RIDER

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear. It showed strong momentum while chasing but was beaten by one and a half lengths, finishing fifth. This time, with no weight reduction, the competition appears evenly matched. Drawing a good barrier, the plan is to settle back in the field and rely on a strong finishing kick – considered the best among its rivals. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, understanding the horse’s temperament, with gatework observed prior to the race. However, the current circumstances aren't entirely favorable, and there appears to be limited synergy between jockey and trainer; a cautious approach is advised.
