COPPER CORE

Fourteen days ago, the horse ran in the same race and delivered a disappointing performance. It was straightforwardly run with an even pace throughout, resulting in lackluster running. Having failed in the last three starts, it is disadvantaged by time against rivals and has an unfavorable setup. With poor draw, if pushed late in the race, its finishing kick might not match that of the competition. The jockey-trainer combination is not ideal; it could be a candidate for an upset if underestimated.
