Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed very well, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before accelerating strongly in the final two sections to finish second, beaten by only two lengths. Showing a high level of performance. This time, he carries only a one-pound increase in weight and has drawn an outside barrier. The plan is again to run from behind, however, his finishing kick may not be as strong as some rivals, making the situation less favorable. Fortunately, the sectionals are expected to be good, and based on overall ability, he appears relatively superior. Trainer and jockey have a strong working relationship and are showing confidence.
