Five weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, taking an early lead and accelerating strongly through the second and third sections while maintaining a good stride. He finished fourth, beaten two and a half lengths, demonstrating a high level of ability. This time with a four-pound weight reduction, favorable timing within its group, and drawing an inside barrier, it possesses a higher overall strength compared to other competitors. Despite needing to race from behind this time, its finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, making the situation less advantageous, but still competitive.
