FIGHT TIME

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. It made a good effort in the middle stages, finishing fourth with a strong late run but was beaten by one and a half lengths. This time, it carries no extra weight, has previous form at this distance, and holds its own in terms of section times within the group. The trainer and jockey have confidence in each other; however, despite drawing an unfavorable outside barrier, it may be worth considering for minor placings.
