Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed poorly with a slow start and settled towards the back. It maintained a steady pace but lacked any impressive sections. This time it needs to carry two pounds more, faces a time difference within its group, and has drawn an outside barrier – a disadvantageous position. However, the horse appears capable of taking an early lead, underwent gate work recently, and is improving with each run. A clean break and intention to lead are key to its chances.
