SMART FAT CAT

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong late run in the final two sections to finish fourth. This time he will carry an additional two pounds, although his group timing is decent and trainer/jockey combination are harmonious. However, drawing an outside barrier necessitates a hold-up tactic, but his finishing kick may not be enough to beat stronger rivals; prospects are limited to running closer to the field.
