BLOSSOMY

Three weeks ago, this horse ran a poor race over the same course and distance, jumping out slowly and settling towards the rear. He maintained a steady pace throughout but lacked any significant momentum, finishing only three lengths behind the winner. Despite receiving a 3lb weight allowance this time and having acceptable recent time figures, his draw is nothing special. While the trainer-jockey combination remains stable, the tactical setup appears unfavorable; having to settle back may leave him lacking the necessary finishing kick to match his rivals, making him a risky proposition.
