ROMANTIC FANTASY

Three weeks ago in this race over the same distance, the performance was acceptable; the horse led comfortably and showed acceleration in the middle stages but couldn't maintain it to the finish. This time with a three-pound weight reduction, the sectional times aren’t strong, so the form looks less favorable. However, having shown previous results over this distance and drawing a good barrier, it can track the pace. If it jumps cleanly and settles comfortably in a forward position, it should improve.
