Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear before finishing with a strong two-section pace to secure fourth place. He was beaten three and a half lengths. This time benefiting from a one-pound weight reduction, competing in a similar time bracket, and drawing an inside barrier, a hold-up tactic is expected. His finishing kick appears strongest within the field, presenting a favorable scenario. Considering the horse's ability, he’s definitely a strong contender in this race. The jockey has some understanding of the horse’s capabilities, and the trainer and jockey appear well-matched.
