SPIRIT OF PEACE

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was reasonable. A slow start saw the horse settle towards the rear, but it showed a strong finishing move to finish fourth, beaten by half a length. This race carries no additional weight; with previous form over this course and time being satisfactory, and drawing a favorable barrier, the conditions are advantageous. Given this horse’s ability, it is a strong contender in this competition. Craig Williams takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse's capabilities, although a hold-up tactic will be employed. However, its finishing kick may not match rivals, and trainer-jockey synergy appears limited; hoping for a place finish.
