ALSONSO

Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear. A strong late run secured second place, beaten by half a length. This time, only carrying one pound more weight, with a favorable timing within its group, it should be able to settle in a good position tracking the leaders. Drawing a good barrier and with Zac Purton taking the ride, horse, jockey and trainer are a good match. Even if lacking a strong finishing kick, the situation isn't disadvantageous and there’s potential to lead."
