LUCK SMILES

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed reasonably well. He jumped slowly and settled towards the rear, making a move in the middle stages and chasing the leaders. This time he has a two-pound weight reduction, is timed against similar competition, and will need to settle back again. However, his finishing kick wasn't strong enough compared to rivals, presenting an unfavorable situation, though drawing an inside barrier offers potential for a good run.
