Four weeks ago, over this same distance, the performance was satisfactory, tracking the leader and maintaining a good pace in the middle sections but failing to hold on for the win, finishing second by half a length. The horse has five wins from twenty starts at this trip, with competitive times against its peers. Drawing a favorable barrier this time with a weight reduction of five pounds, it is expected to take the lead. Considering its overall ability compared to other contenders, it’s arguably superior; if it jumps cleanly and aims for an early lead, success is anticipated.
