BRAVE STAR

Six weeks ago in a race over the same distance, this horse performed well, settling towards the rear and maintaining a steady pace before making up significant ground in the final stages to finish third, beaten two lengths. With six wins from 24 starts and respectable times recorded, a favorable barrier draw is advantageous. Despite needing to carry an additional two pounds this time, the chances aren’t entirely dismissed, although a strong finishing kick hasn't been demonstrated yet.
