ACE WAR

Three weeks ago, the horse performed excellently in the same race. Although slow coming out of the starting gate, it settled towards the rear and maintained a consistent pace throughout. In the final stages, it gradually recovered ground to finish as the runner-up, beaten only half a length—a strong showing. This race shows good form and acceptable timing. The jockey and trainer's strategy is well-coordinated; even though it needs to carry five extra pounds this time, the position might be slightly disadvantageous, and if it adopts a stalking run, its late kick may struggle to match the competition's, though this is not entirely impossible.
