Seven days ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was acceptable despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. The horse made progress during the middle stages but couldn't sustain it to the finish line. Racing again after two weeks, this time without any weight reduction, he is expected to settle back in the field. However, his finishing kick isn’t strong enough compared to rivals, leaving him with a less favorable position. Fortunately, the overall timing of horses in the same class wasn't exceptional, and he has drawn a good barrier, offering some potential for improvement if underestimated.
