THE AZURE

Four weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear and maintaining a steady pace but showing a late surge. This time, no weight reduction is applied; it has previously secured three wins at this distance with comparable times within its group. Drawing a favorable barrier position enhances its chances. Based on the horse’s ability, it's considered the standout contender in this race. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, demonstrating strong understanding of the horse's temperament, though a rearward tactic might be employed, its finishing kick may not match rivals. Trainer-jockey rapport is considered lukewarm.
