RICH HORSE

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was reasonable despite a slow start and settling towards the rear with an even pace but showing some late acceleration. This time, the horse benefits from a two-pound weight reduction but has failed to win in three attempts at this trip. Drawing a poor barrier necessitates a backmarker strategy; however, the finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals. Despite comparable sectionals within the group, a winning move seems improbable.
