NOTTHESILLYONE

Five weeks ago, this horse ran well over a dirt 1200m, taking the lead and showing good acceleration in the middle stages with a strong finishing kick. Returning to Happy Valley for a sprint race this time, he will carry one pound more weight, facing a disadvantageous situation with an unfavorable barrier draw and less-than-ideal trainer/jockey combination. However, his past performance at this distance and competitive times suggest he is capable of showing something."
