SPEEDY POWER

Fourteen days ago, the horse ran in this race with decent form, tracking near the front from a good position but showing weakness in the final stages. His time performance was not outstanding, and he was at a disadvantage in the race situation; if he adopts a trailing running style, his late closing speed may not match that of his rivals. The jockey and trainer's combination was not ideal, but it is not surprising given he carried two pounds less this time.
