BEAUTY JOY

Four weeks ago, the horse performed creditably in a race over the same course. Although he was slow getting out of the gate and settled towards the rear, his pace remained even throughout, gradually recovering ground in the final stages. Moving up in class this time, the time difference against his peers puts him at a disadvantage, and the jockey-trainer partnership has not shown outstanding synergy. His strength lies in his ability to compete from off the pace, where he still possesses some threat in the closing stages. With three wins in twenty-nine starts, he is not selected for this race.
