LUCKY GENERATIONS

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was reasonable despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. The horse showed a strong finishing run to finish fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. This time with a two-pound weight reduction, it has failed to win in eight attempts over this course and distance. A hold-up tactic is anticipated, but its finishing kick may not be sufficient against stronger rivals. Despite comparable times within the group and drawing a favorable barrier, opportunities appear limited.
