FIGHT TIME

Last run winner, three weeks ago over the same distance, performed extremely well, jumped slowly and settled back in the field before making a strong late run with fast sectionals to win. Moving up in class this time, he benefits from a 9-pound weight reduction, has good form over this course and distance, holds his own against competitors' times, and draws an advantageous inside barrier. Compared to the other horses, his ability is superior to all others in the field and looks capable of winning again.
