CELESTIAL HERO

Three weeks ago, the horse performed outstandingly in a similar race, tracking back with an average pace throughout and gradually closing in late to secure second place, beaten only half a length. This time, with four pounds less weight and the course being familiar territory, his timing was decent but he tracked back in the race. His finishing kick remains a threat, and the jockey and trainer's strategy is well-coordinated; even if circumstances are slightly unfavorable or his draw isn't ideal, he should still be considered a supporting contender this race.
