PEGASUS GENERAL

Five weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over a Happy Valley mile, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace before being urged forward. Another trial over an extended distance at Happy Valley, he needs to carry one pound more in this race. The sectionals were good, and he’s drawn well, presenting a favorable situation. Compared to other contenders, he possesses a noticeable advantage in ability. Matthew Chadwick takes the ride, with some familiarity of the horse's capabilities; however, even if settling back in this race, his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals. Trainer and jockey don’t seem to have a good connection, making an upset possible.
