ZEPHYR

Three weeks ago over the same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the back of the field. It showed a strong late run but was beaten three and a half lengths, finishing eighth. This time with a seven-pound weight reduction, it has drawn an unfavorable barrier and will likely be held up. However, its sectionals were respectable within the group, and trainer/jockey are aligned in their assessment. A place finish is possible.
