Five weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse led but maintained a steady pace with no significant acceleration, finishing third. The margin of defeat was only half a length, indicating good ability. This time carrying an eight-pound weight reduction, with proven form over this distance and the fastest time in its group, drawing a favorable barrier position allows for a forward run. Given the horse’s capabilities, it is a strong contender in this race. The trainer and jockey maintain a good rapport, and a clean break should see it settle comfortably in a leading position, capable of finishing among the frontrunners.
