TRADITION

Two weeks ago, this horse performed well in a dirt mile race, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear. It made a strong move in the middle sections, maintaining a good pace throughout. In a recent Happy Valley mile trial, it will carry six pounds more this time. Despite running good times with its group and drawing a reasonable barrier, it possesses a clear advantage in ability compared to other horses. However, it's expected to settle towards the rear again in this race, but its finishing kick may not be strong enough, making its prospects less favorable—likely to compete from behind.
