STORMI

Three weeks ago, this horse performed excellently in the same race, showing great scope to extend and finishing second, beaten by only half a length; his standard is high. In sixteen starts, he has three wins, and his time figures remain acceptable. Drawn to a good barrier, he can settle well tracking the leaders, maintaining stable form. Even if he carries five extra pounds in this race and doesn't show outstanding finishing kick, nor is there a particularly strong connection between the jockey and trainer, he should be considered for placing.
