Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. It showed a strong finishing effort, beaten only two lengths and finishing fifth. This time with a three-pound weight reduction, having previously won three times at this distance, and competing against similar timed horses, it has drawn a favorable barrier. Trainer and jockey still have confidence in each other. While potentially needing to settle towards the rear again, its finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals; the overall situation isn’t particularly advantageous but an upset win remains possible.
