SOVEREIGN FUND

Four weeks ago, the performance in this race was disappointing; it finished trailing throughout at a steady pace with an unremarkable run. Fortunately, the margin wasn't too large, finishing only three and a half lengths behind, indicating decent class. This race requires an extra three pounds to carry; having lost all three previous starts, the current setup isn't very favorable, and the finishing kick is somewhat lacking. However, with a decent draw and acceptable group timing, it may be worth considering as an outsider bet.
