TOP GUN

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. It made progress in the middle stages with good momentum, finishing only half a length behind the winner and taking fifth place. This time, it carries no additional weight but faces an unfavorable situation; while having some form at this distance, its times are comparable to rivals in the same class. The trainer and jockey maintain mutual trust, however, it is not considered a strong contender for this race.
