KASA PAPA

Two weeks ago in this same distance race, the horse jumped slowly and settled towards the rear, maintaining a steady pace but without a strong finishing effort, finishing fourth. This time, it has a one-pound weight reduction, and while its group timing isn't significantly different, drawing an inside barrier is favorable. However, it will likely need to settle at the back of the field again, though its finishing kick may not be as strong as its rivals; aiming for second place is the realistic target.
