TELECOM FIGHTERS

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was reasonable; he showed good early speed and wasn't beaten far, finishing two and a half lengths behind the winner. This race he has a 3lb weight reduction, with previous form at this distance, and competitive times in the group. The barrier draw is favorable, giving him a chance to lead. The jockey/horse combination is adequate, however, his finishing kick is slightly weaker, and trainer partnership hasn't been particularly noticeable; worth considering as an outsider."
