Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, tracking the leader and showing strong finishing speed to secure second place, beaten by half a length. He’s only carrying one pound more this time, having previously won twice at this distance. The timing looks good against his rivals; he has the ability to track the leaders and challenge early. In favorable form with an advantageous draw, he possesses a clear strength advantage over other contenders. Trainer and jockey are working well together—a clean break should see him contend for the lead.
