CARRYON SMILING

Five weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse performed reasonably well, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. The pace was consistent throughout and it made gradual progress in the final stages. It has lost all three races at this course, with unfavorable conditions and less-than-ideal trainer-jockey collaboration. However, it benefits from a two-pound weight reduction and good time within its group for this race, making it worth considering.
