WINNING MONEY

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse led but maintained a steady pace with no strong finishing kick, finishing second and beaten by half a length. This time, he carries only one pound more in weight, has good timing within his group, is expected to challenge for the lead, drew a favorable barrier, and appears to have superior strength compared to other contenders. Zac Purton takes the ride, demonstrating some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, and trainer-jockey combination seems positive. A clean jump should enable him to secure an early leading position and contend in the front."
