SELF IMPROVEMENT

Four weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse was very disappointing, slow out of the gates and settling towards the rear. Maintaining a steady pace throughout, it lacked any significant acceleration and finished poorly. Now moving up in class, the horse benefits from a 29-pound weight reduction. Despite a record of four wins from eighteen starts over this course, with respectable times, and drawing an inside barrier, it’s not ideally positioned. Nevertheless, it's considered a strong contender in this race, showing improved form, but facing challenging circumstances.
