IGOR STRAVINSKY

Three weeks ago, in a race over the same distance, this horse performed well, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and showing strong early speed. He finished sixth, beaten by one and a half lengths. This time he has a two-pound weight reduction but will need to be held up in the run; however, his finishing kick is not as strong as some rivals, leaving him with an unfavorable situation. Fortunately, his group’s time was good, and he drew a favorable barrier, making him worth considering.
