FORTUNATE SON

Last run winner, fourteen days ago this horse ran impressively over a Happy Valley mile, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making steady progress throughout the race to win. Another attempt over a Happy Valley 1800m sees him carry five pounds more this time. He has failed to place in three previous starts over this distance, with his time figures being unremarkable. The horse faces a disadvantageous draw and lacks strong finishing speed, appearing unlikely to contend for victory.
