GOOD FORTUNE

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was reasonable despite a slow start, settling towards the rear and finishing with a strong run. This time carrying four pounds less weight, the horse has failed to win in four attempts at this distance, with poor form shown against similar competition. Drawing an outside barrier doesn't help, and he lacks a strong finishing kick – unfavorable conditions overall. Although capable of tracking the leaders, it’s unlikely to be competitive in this race.
