SMILING EMPERORFour weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse settled in a good position tracking the leaders but maintained an even pace with no impressive acceleration. He finished fifth, beaten three lengths. Returning from a break, he will carry 17 pounds more weight this time and has shown competitive times compared to his group. He’s capable of following the leading pace-setters and drawing a favorable barrier. Compared to other competitors, he possesses superior ability and is rapidly improving in form, though his finishing kick is a concern. His current prospects are not ideal; a trailing position is anticipated.
