ORIGIN OF FORM

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. The pace was steady throughout, and he made gradual ground in the final section, finishing beaten three and a half lengths. Considering the unfavorable timing compared to other horses, adopting a hold-up strategy might hinder his finishing kick. Trainer-jockey combination needs improvement; however, a favorable barrier draw and a two-pound weight reduction give him a chance to show better form.
