PROUD BOX

Last ran winner, who performed excellently in the same race four weeks ago. He was able to settle near the rear and accelerate through the middle section, then chase for two more sections in the straight to win. Having shown ability in this race and possessing a top time among his peers, his chances are quite good with an advantageous draw. His early speed is sufficient to fight for position proactively, and based on the assessment scores, he appears to be the strongest in this field. The jockey-horse combination is decent, and the trainer-jockey partnership seems smooth. However, he must carry an extra 12 pounds in this race and his finishing kick hasn't shown exceptional strength, though he still possesses winning credentials.
