ROMANTIC SON

Last run winner, three weeks ago over the same distance, performed well settling in a good position tracking the leaders, showed mid-race acceleration and took the lead to win comfortably by one and a half lengths. This race requires carrying seven pounds more than last time; having previously won twice at this distance, with good times recorded, and drawing a favorable barrier, morning trackwork shows consistent form. Although potentially needing to settle back in the field, finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, making it a challenging scenario but still worth considering.
