SKY CAP

Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Happy Valley 1200m, tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a finishing surge, beaten three lengths and finished seventh. The body weight has been reduced by twenty-six pounds; another turf trial over a Happy Valley sprint distance is planned. This time there's no weight reduction, and the group timing isn’t promising, making for an unfavorable situation. Despite appearing capable of leading early, the barrier draw doesn’t offer much advantage and a winning opportunity remains unclear.
