KING OBERON

Last run winner, two weeks ago over the same distance, ran very impressively. Slow jump out, settled back in the field before making a strong late run with fast sectionals to win comfortably by one and a half lengths. Stepping up in class this time carrying an eight-pound weight reduction, has previous form over this distance, good times recorded against its group, and draws an advantageous inside barrier. Based on the horse's ability, it is the most outstanding contender in this race and has a strong chance of defending its title.
