NORDIC DRAGONFour weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was unsatisfactory; a slow start saw it settling towards the rear. It showed strong momentum while chasing and finished fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. This time with a six-pound weight reduction, considering its five wins from twenty-four starts over this course, good timing within its group, and drawing a favorable barrier, a hold-up tactic is anticipated with a potent finishing kick being the horse’s strongest attribute – giving it a solid chance. Based on the horse's ability, it’s definitely a strong contender in this race. The jockey has some understanding of the horse’s capabilities and is working hard to prepare it, however, trainer-jockey communication appears limited, suggesting a conservative approach.
