LUCKY TOUCH

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear before finishing strongly to take second place, beaten by half a length. He demonstrated good ability. This time he does not need to carry extra weight and has proven form over this course and distance; his sectionals are competitive within the group. The plan is to settle back early with a strong finishing kick, making him the strongest closer in the field. His current form is promising, and based on his ability, he’s the standout horse in this race. Alexis Badel takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse's capabilities, and enjoys a good rapport with the trainer. He appears well prepared to show his true potential.
