Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed poorly with a slow jump and settled at the rear. Maintaining a steady pace throughout, it lacked any noticeable acceleration and finished well-defeated. Last run, this time needing to carry 17 pounds more weight, having shown some previous form over this course and distance, capable of settling in a good position tracking the leaders and drawing a favorable barrier. It has demonstrated a decent finishing kick and the jockey understands the horse’s temperament. Morning trackwork shows no regression. Despite a slightly unfavorable time difference compared to other horses in its group, the situation is not entirely disadvantageous. However, there appears to be limited synergy between trainer and jockey; still, it shouldn't be underestimated.
