NEVER TOO SOON

Four weeks ago over the same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the back before making a move in the middle stages and maintaining a strong finish. This time with a one-pound weight reduction but an unfavorable barrier draw, it is expected to race from behind; however, its finishing kick may not be sufficient to challenge rivals. Although having secured two wins over this distance previously and competing against similarly timed horses, trainer-jockey combination are confident, opportunities are still limited.
