PHANTOM CYCLONE

Two weeks ago, this horse performed below expectations over the same distance, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and maintaining pace towards the finish, ultimately finishing fourth. He has lost all six races at this distance, lacking favorable conditions and drawing a poor barrier. Considering he's likely to be held back for a late run, his finishing kick may not be strong enough to challenge rivals. The trainer-jockey combination hasn’t shown significant synergy, however the horse’s time figures are respectable and the jockey is familiar with the mount, so should not be discounted.
