HORSEPOWER

Four weeks ago, the horse performed exceptionally well in the same race. After a slow start from the gates, it settled further back and maintained a steady run, gradually closing in in the final stages to finish as runner-up, beaten by half a length. This time, the horse will carry one pound extra in weight. The current setup doesn't look cooperative, and the draw is unfavorable. However, if it adopts a stalking running style and maintains its strong closing speed, it is the strongest in this field, having won two times over this course previously; therefore, a win cannot be ruled out.
