RUN RUN SMART

The last-run winner showed excellent form in the same race three weeks ago, finishing strongly at the back before fading slightly in the final stages to claim victory. Stepping up in class this time, he carries six pounds less weight; having won twice at this trip previously, his time figures remain respectable. With an advantageous draw, although the form doesn't perfectly align and the finishing kick isn't outstanding, nor is there a strong rapport between jockey and trainer, he should be considered for placing.
