Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse ran commendably. He jumped slowly and settled towards the back of the field, finishing fourth with a strong late run, beaten by two lengths. Having lost 22 pounds in body weight, he enters this race without any additional weight. With previous form over this distance and an advantageous barrier draw, his prospects are favorable. The horse’s ability is relatively superior, and there's good synergy between the jockey, trainer, and horse – suggesting a likely place finish.
