ACE POWER

Four weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was unsatisfactory; a slow jump led to settling towards the rear. The pace was steady but showed some late acceleration. He finished sixth, beaten two and a half lengths. This race he carries no additional weight, having previously secured two wins at this distance. The group timing is reasonable and drawing a favorable barrier. Trainer and jockey have a good rapport; they are well-prepared and worth considering as a potential threat.
