VICTOR THE RAPID

Fourteen days ago, over this same distance, the horse performed well, settling towards the rear and maintaining a steady pace before finishing third with a late run. Beaten two lengths, it showed good potential. Having previously won twice at this course and distance, its time figures are the best in the group. With favorable conditions and drawing a good barrier, it boasts a strong finishing kick amongst its peers. Based on ratings, it’s considered the strongest contender in this field. The jockey has a good understanding of the horse's temperament, and trainer-jockey synergy is reasonable; worth marking as a leading chance.
