Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed reasonably well, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace but showing a late run. This time needing to carry one pound more in weight, and lacking strong form from fellow runners in the group, it’s expected he will again settle towards the back of the field. However, his finishing kick is unlikely to be as strong as his rivals, making his chances questionable even with an advantageous inside barrier draw.
