HAKKA RADIANCE

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and showing mid-race acceleration. He maintained a strong pace throughout to finish second, beaten by half a length. No additional weight will be carried this time; although the opposition is comparable, he has drawn a favorable barrier. The trainer and jockey are well-matched, with active work reported, however the overall situation isn't particularly advantageous, hoping for a place.
