STURDY RUBY

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was disappointing; a slow start saw it settle towards the rear of the field with an even pace throughout. It has lost all three races at this track, and the time difference compared to other horses in the group is unfavorable. Adopting a hold-up tactic could hinder its finishing kick. However, drawing a reasonable barrier and maintaining a good trainer-jockey relationship offer some hope, although expectations remain modest.
