BUNTA BABY

Seven weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear and finishing with a strong run. This time, it benefits from a three-pound weight reduction, favorable timing within its group, and has the potential to track the leaders and maintain a good pace. The barrier draw is decent, trainer and jockey have a good rapport. Although lacking a strong finishing kick, a clean break should allow it to secure a forward position and contend for a place in the front rank.
