TEAM HAPPY

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed poorly, tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a finishing burst. He finished fifth, beaten by one and a half lengths. This time he will carry an additional pound in weight. Despite having some records on this course and comparable times within the group, he has drawn a good barrier with potential for an early lead, positioning him favorably. Angus Chung takes the ride, a jockey known for controlling a horse's pace, and is undergoing increased training. However, his finishing kick remains a concern, and there’s a perceived lack of synergy between the horse and trainer; considered a suitable pairing only.
