DOUBLE ALPHA

Four weeks ago, this horse performed exceptionally well in the same race. Settling in a good position tracking the leaders throughout, he made steady progress and regained some lost ground in the final stages to finish second, beaten only a half-length—a high standard. In this race, he carries one pound less, has the best track time in his group, and draws an ideal barrier. Overall ratings place him near the top of this field, and the jockey and trainer are in good sync, suggesting he is capable of continuing his winning momentum.
