NATURAL HIGH

Four weeks ago, over this same distance, the performance was reasonable despite a slow start. The horse settled towards the rear and maintained a steady pace but showed a strong late run to finish fourth, beaten three lengths. This time, no additional weight will be carried. Considering its previous record at this distance and comparable times with the field, it has the potential to track the leaders or even challenge for the lead. The barrier draw is favourable, and there’s good synergy between trainer and jockey, but a bold showing isn't guaranteed.
