KINGLY DEMEANOR

Fourteen days ago, in the same race, the performance was decent; he got away well but showed weakening late speed. Fortunately, he wasn't far behind, losing by only two lengths. This time the horse carries two pounds less and has won twice over this trip with acceptable times; his chances are not poor. He possesses the ability to lead early, and the jockey/trainer combination is in good sync; even if his draw isn't ideal or his late drive is slightly lacking, he might still have a chance.
