HARMONY N BLESSED

Two weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, the performance was poor, tracking the leader with a steady pace but lacking a finishing burst. He finished fifth, beaten by half a length. This time he has a six-pound weight reduction, but drew a poor barrier and lacks a strong finishing kick, making his prospects less favorable. However, he has previously won three races at this distance, shows comparable times to the field, and is capable of tracking the leaders. If he jumps cleanly and settles in front, he should be able to finish among the leading contenders.
