PRESTIGE RICKY

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed reasonably well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear and finishing with a strong late run. This time it benefits from a two-pound weight reduction; however, it has failed to win in three previous attempts at this course and distance. The plan is again to settle back in the field, but its finishing kick isn't expected to be as potent as some of its rivals. Despite similar times to horses in the same class, even with an advantageous inside barrier draw, it doesn’t appear to be a strong contender for this race.
