MOUNT EVEREST

Last run winner, four weeks ago over the same distance, performed exceptionally well, slow out of the gate and settled towards the rear before finishing with a strong two-section pace to win. Moving up in class this time with a 12lb weight reduction, having previously won twice at this distance, good times recorded with the group, drew an inside barrier, expected to be held back early, boasts a strong finishing kick within the field, advantageous positioning, jockey has some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, and trainer/jockey relationship appears positive; another win is likely.
