Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and showing strong acceleration. He finished third. This time with a two-pound weight reduction, the competition is reasonable, and he has a good chance to lead early. The barrier draw is favorable, and compared to other runners, he possesses a higher level of ability. The jockey understands the horse’s capabilities; as long as he jumps cleanly and aims for an early lead, he should perform well.
