SOVEREIGN FUND

On August 30th (turf trial 1000m: 6-8-8), the horse maintained a steady pace throughout, settling comfortably in midfield. This is his seasonal debut. He has undergone one barrier trial without showing significant improvement. Having lost 21 pounds in body weight, he will carry six pounds more this time. He previously secured two wins over this distance and ran competitive times compared to others in the same group; drawing a favorable barrier enhances his chances. Based on the horse’s ability, he is considered the strongest contender in this race. The jockey understands how to manage the horse's pace effectively, and the trainer-jockey combination appears harmonious, suggesting potential for another victory.
