JOLTIN

Seven days ago, this horse performed respectably in a dirt 1200m run; he was slow coming out of the stalls but settled behind, progressing steadily throughout and slowly closing in at the finish. In a subsequent dirt mile run, his position was somewhat disadvantaged, and the draw was not ideal; there was no outstanding partnership between jockey and trainer. However, if he employs a stalking style, his closing speed is among the strongest in the field, and his time metrics are acceptable, suggesting he has potential.
