SKY CAP

Two weeks ago, this horse delivered a poor performance over a Happy Valley 1200m, taking the lead but fading in the middle stages and losing by half a length. A subsequent trial on the straight course sees him with a two-pound weight reduction for this race; however, he has failed to place in three previous attempts at this distance. The opposition appears strong, and he’s drawn poorly, making his chances unfavorable. He possesses good early speed, and trainer/jockey have confidence in each other. A clean break and an attempt to lead are crucial to improve his position.
