Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse ran decently, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and showing strong early speed. He finished sixth, beaten three and a half lengths. This time he needs to carry seven pounds more weight. Having failed to win in six attempts at this distance with a weak finishing kick, his prospects are not favorable. Despite similar times within the group, he's likely to push for an early lead. Trackwork has been positive, but opportunities appear limited.
