DRAGON AIR FORCE

Two weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over the same distance, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He maintained an even pace throughout the race with unremarkable progress. This time he benefits from an 11-pound weight reduction, having previously secured two wins at this course and distance. The group timing is reasonable, and drawing a favorable barrier position. His finishing kick is among the best in the field; overall assessment places him as a leading contender in this race.
