TELECOM FIGHTERS

Two weeks ago, this horse performed poorly in a Happy Valley mile race, settling well but unable to maintain pace over the two sections and finishing weakly. Back on dirt over a mile, he will carry four pounds less this time, with previous records at this distance being respectable. The group timing is good and drawing a favorable barrier provides an opportunity to lead. Angus Chung takes the ride, forming a potentially good horse-jockey combination. Despite not having ideal circumstances or strong trainer rapport, a clean break should allow him to push for the lead and secure a forward position.
