DANICA'S CHOICE

Last time out, this horse performed reasonably well in the same race, running strongly from the rear and finishing only two lengths behind, indicating a high standard. For this race, he carries four extra pounds; the current conditions do not seem to favor him, and his draw is unfavorable. The jockey-trainer combination isn't ideal, but if he can stay in the rear, his finishing kick within this group is strong, and his timing is adequate. He is competitive for a placing.
