COLOURFUL WINNER

Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was poor; he led early but faded significantly in the middle stages. The horse has dropped 31 pounds in body weight and will carry four pounds more this time. He is timed similarly to other horses in his group, capable of challenging for the lead. Despite lacking finishing kick, the form isn't entirely unfavorable as long as he jumps cleanly and aims for an early lead.
