RED ELEGANCE

Seven days ago, this horse ran poorly in a short sprint on Happy Valley turf; he was slow to break and stayed towards the rear with an even pace, showing no real momentum. In this race, he carries three pounds less and has shown competence over this distance. His time in the same group is acceptable, his draw is not poor, and the jockey is familiar with him. However, the positioning hasn't been ideal, and his finishing kick isn't outstanding, suggesting potential for an upset.
