KEEFY

Fourteen days ago, over a Happy Valley mile, this horse performed decently but lacked an early pace, settling towards the rear and weakening in the final stages. A subsequent attempt over a Happy Valley 1800m yielded four losses, with no significant improvement in time. The draw is unfavorable, the finishing kick was unremarkable, and trainer-jockey synergy isn't ideal. While benefiting from a three-pound weight reduction and securing a good barrier, expectations remain low.
