STURDY RUBYFour weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was below expectations; a slow start saw it settle towards the rear. It showed a strong late run to finish fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. This time, no weight reduction is applied. Although successful twice at this trip previously, drawing a favorable barrier suggests a hold-up tactic will be employed, relying on a finishing kick which appears to be its strongest asset. Compared to other competitors, it possesses a higher level of ability, the jockey has some familiarity with the horse, and trainer/jockey relationship is sound. However, sectionals haven’t been impressive recently, hoping for a place finish.
