SOUTH STAR

Last race winner, three weeks ago over the same distance, showcased impressive form leading from start to finish to secure a commanding victory by one and a half lengths. Stepping up in class this time with a 10-pound weight reduction, the horse has proven results at this distance, a good time within its group, and an advantageous inside barrier draw. Compared to other contenders, its ability is superior amongst the field and unlikely to be defeated. The jockey understands the horse's capabilities well, enjoys a solid relationship with the trainer who has prepared the horse meticulously; post-race recovery shows maturity and improvement suggesting it’s capable of another victory.
