Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed exceptionally well, settling comfortably tracking the leaders before making a strong late run with fast sections. He finished second, beaten by just half a length and demonstrating good ability. This time he benefits from a seven-pound weight reduction, favorable timing within his group, and an advantageous inside barrier draw. The plan is to settle him back in the field and rely on his finishing kick, which should be the strongest in the race. Compared to the other contenders, this horse's overall strength makes him stand out as a leading prospect. He has the potential to showcase his true ability again.
