NEW POWER

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, despite leading and settling well, the pace was steady and lacked strength, finishing third beaten by half a length. This time carrying only a one-pound increase in weight, having previously secured three wins at this course, with good times recorded, and drawing a favorable barrier, a hold-up tactic is anticipated with a strong finishing kick expected within the group. The horse appears to have a clear advantage over its rivals in terms of overall ability. Jockey understands the horse’s temperament, and trainer/jockey relationship is solid; it has the potential to take the lead against competitors.
