M UNICORN

Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed poorly with a slow start and settled towards the rear. He maintained an even pace but lacked a finishing kick, resulting in a significant defeat. The body weight has been reduced by 23 pounds, and there is no weight penalty for this race. Having won five races from seventeen starts over this course and distance, he’s drawn well with gatework practice noted. Morning trackwork indicates consistent form. Despite a slower sectional time compared to stablemates, the horse will likely be held up in this race, but his finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals, presenting an unfavorable scenario – caution advised.
