ABSOLUTE AWAKENED

Four weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse performed very well, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong late run with fast sectionals. He finished fourth, beaten by only half a length, demonstrating good ability. This time, there's no additional weight to carry, he recorded the fastest time in his group, and has drawn an advantageous inside barrier. Given this horse’s capabilities, he is a major contender in this race. Trainer and jockey are working well together; however, even if he settles towards the rear, his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, and the overall situation isn't ideal despite showing plenty of determination.
