MATSU VICTOR

Four weeks ago, this horse ran a mediocre race over the same course and distance. While it settled in a good position tracking the leaders and maintained its momentum late on, finishing only 3.5 lengths behind, the overall performance was unimpressive. Due to unfavorable circumstances and a lack of a strong finishing kick, the time was also underwhelming. The connection between trainer and jockey has not looked particularly promising; however, given its previous record at this distance and consistent form, it remains a low-chance contender.
