LADY'S LOVE

Four weeks ago, the horse performed reasonably well in the same race but faded in the final stages while tracking the leaders. He is stepping up in weight by 14 pounds for this race, and his time performance hasn't been outstanding. His situation is somewhat disadvantaged by the draw, and the jockey-trainer combination isn't ideal. However, when tracking in the pack, his closing speed is the sharpest in the group, and his form continues to improve; he must be watched.
