LEAN HERO

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the back before accelerating in the final two sections with good speed. He finished sixth, beaten three and a half lengths. This time receiving a two-pound weight reduction, the plan is to race from behind again, but his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals. While having secured three wins over this distance previously, the overall timing isn’t exceptional; however, he has drawn a favorable barrier and possesses relative strength in comparison to competitors, offering some opportunity.
