Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse delivered a strong performance despite a slow jump and settling at the back of the field. It made a fast recovery in the final two sections to finish third, losing by half a length—a narrow defeat showcasing high potential. This time, it won’t need to carry additional weight, the section times are reasonable, and the barrier draw isn’t unfavorable. The jockey has some understanding of the horse's capabilities, and there is mutual trust between the trainer and jockey. Workouts have been vigorous; even with a less-than-ideal draw, a hold-up tactic will be employed, although the finishing kick may not match rivals. Still capable of making an impact.
