GLORY CLOUD

Five weeks ago, over this same distance, the performance was decent. The start was slow, settling towards the rear and maintaining a steady pace, but showed a late run. He finished sixth, beaten two and a half lengths. Returning to race now, he will carry an additional fourteen pounds this time and has drawn a poor barrier. A hold-up strategy is likely for this race, however, his finishing kick may not be strong enough against the competition, making the situation less favorable. Fortunately, the group’s overall timing looks good, and trainer/jockey combination remains positive; showing potential for improvement.
