KYRUS DRAGON

Two weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over the same distance. He jumped slowly and settled towards the rear but showed a strong late run to finish third, beaten by half a length. This time he doesn’t need to carry additional weight; he has previously won three times at this distance and enjoys good timing with his group. The plan is to settle him back in the field, relying on his finishing kick which is the strongest in the group. Based on the horse's ability, he appears to be the leading contender in this race. Trainer and jockey have a strong rapport; despite drawing a poor barrier, current fitness levels suggest he’s ready."
