VULCANUS

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. It showed a strong late run, finishing only half a length behind in fifth place. This time, it carries no additional weight with good timing against its group, and has drawn a favorable barrier position, offering an advantageous situation. The horse possesses a definite advantage in this race; trainer and jockey have a reasonable rapport, showing improvement in morning trackwork, and is considered a strong contender.
