METRO POWER

Seven days ago, this horse performed impressively in a short-distance race on Happy Valley turf, showing good acceleration and finishing as the runner-up, beaten only half a length. Returning to run in a straight race this time with one pound less weight, he has form over this distance and an acceptable draw in the group. The tactical prospects are decent, with no poor drawing. He has the capability to take an early run, and his jockey/trainer combination seems compatible; however, his finishing kick has not been outstanding, making him a potential outsider bet.
