RATTAN GALAXY

Four weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was poor; settled in a good position tracking the leaders but faded badly and finished well-beaten. This time with a three-pound weight reduction, the tactics will be to settle towards the rear and rely on a strong finishing kick – which is considered the best in the field. Despite four previous defeats over this course and distance, the overall section times of the opposition are weak, suggesting potential for a dominant performance.
