NIGHT PUROSANGUE

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and launching a strong two-section burst during the middle stages. He was chased down by Russian Bold to finish second, beaten only one length – demonstrating a high level of ability. This time, he avoids a weight penalty, has proven form over this distance, holds his own against competitors in terms of speed figures, and draws an advantageous inside barrier. His current form is good, and relative to other horses in the field, possesses a clear advantage in strength. The trainer and jockey have a strong rapport, suggesting a good chance of success.
