LAKESHORE HERO

Fourteen days ago, this horse ran poorly over a dirt mile, taking an early lead but maintaining a steady pace throughout with an unremarkable performance. He was beaten three lengths. Switching to Happy Valley over a mile now as a first attempt at the distance, it’s not a suitable trip and the barrier draw is unfavorable. There isn't strong synergy between the trainer and jockey. The positive is a strong finishing kick within its group, with acceptable time figures, suggesting it could be a contender for minor placings.
