QUARTZ LEGEND

One week ago, over the same distance, this horse ran very well, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before finishing strongly in the final two sections. He was beaten three lengths, finishing sixth. Racing again in two weeks, dropping down a class, he will carry nine pounds more this time. Possessing the best time amongst his group, he needs to be held up for a late run, with the strongest finishing kick in the field. The barrier draw is advantageous, and appears as a strong contender in this race. Trainer and jockey have a good rapport, and the horse looks ready to win.
