LITTLE MONSTER

Three weeks ago, he ran in the same race and performed very poorly, getting out of the stalls slowly and running towards the rear. He maintained a steady pace throughout but gradually recovered ground in the final stages; fortunately, he wasn't far behind and only lost by two and a half lengths. This time in this race, he carries three pounds less, has proven ability over this trip, and his timing was decent. The draw is advantageous, and his finishing kick within the field is strong; based on form assessment, he belongs to the strongest group in this race. The jockey and trainer's partnership remains smooth, making him a key contender.
