LEADING DRAGON

Three weeks ago, this horse performed excellently in the same race, showing great ability and finishing as the runner-up, beaten only half a length. The sectional times remain reasonable, and his position was favorable. His early speed is sufficient to challenge for a leading spot. Overall ratings place him among the top contenders, and the combination with the jockey is suitable. However, he requires four pounds more weight this time out, and his finishing kick is slightly lacking; nevertheless, he remains a key contender for the win.
