GLORIOUS KINGDOM

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. It made a strong move in the middle stages, challenging for position. This time with a three-pound weight reduction, it has drawn an outside barrier requiring a hold-up tactic. However, its finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, creating an unfavourable situation. Fortunately, its sectionals were comparable to those of horses in the same group, giving it a chance to improve quickly.
