CHEAHA

Four weeks ago, this horse performed reasonably well in the same race, settling into a good position and tracking the leaders with decent late-race momentum. This time, dropping three pounds and having a competitive pace in the field, if adopting a holding-and-stretching tactic, his late burst of speed is arguably the strongest in the group. However, while the conditions look favorable, there isn't a clear alignment of circumstances, nor is the jockey-trainer partnership particularly seamless; he could be an outsider bet.
