STAR CONTACT

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse settled in a good position tracking the leaders but maintained a steady pace lacking a strong finishing burst. He finished fifth, beaten two and a half lengths. This time he will carry four pounds more weight. Despite having won four races from 31 attempts at this distance, with good timing overall, drawing a favorable barrier allows for an early speed strategy. Compared to other contenders, he possesses a stronger ability, however the current conditions are not particularly advantageous; a trailing tactic is recommended.
