TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong run. Returning to racing now, he will carry an 18-pound weight increase this time. While the times of his group are not significantly slower, he was able to secure a good position tracking the leaders. The barrier draw is acceptable, appearing well-prepared, but lacks a finishing kick and the overall situation isn't ideal; a trailing finish is expected.
