HORSEPOWER

Four weeks ago, this horse performed outstandingly in the same race. After a slow start from the gates, he settled on the back with a steady pace, gradually closing in in the final stages to finish as runner-up, beaten by half a length. Having previously secured two victories, his time figures are respectable. With an ideal draw for this run, he is expected to track the pace from the rear; his finishing power is arguably the strongest in this field. His overall rating places him near the top of the race, and the jockey is familiar with this horse. The stable staff and jockey's plan are well-coordinated, and the horse has been thoroughly prepared for this opportunity, giving him a strong chance to win.
