AUTUMN VIBES

Ten days ago, this horse showed excellent form in a straight-up race, settling well near the front and finishing second. He was only beaten half a length. Having run over 1200m on Happy Valley turf previously, this time he carries one pound less. His timing figures remain acceptable, and the draw is favorable. Even with a history of four defeats in this race, an unfavorable position, and slightly lacking in finishing kick, he is not without potential.
