ch m New Approach (IRE) - Eva's Request (IRE) (Soviet Star)
Towards rear of midfield, smooth headway from 2f out, pushed along to lead over 1f out, ridden and went clear inside final furlong, easily (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding ran at Killarney on the 13th July where she broke badly but did not run as bad as her finishing position suggested;, he added that she previously ran at Killarney on the 17th May where she did not handle the soft underfoot conditions; six days previously she made her seasonal appearance at Gowran Park; in his opinion, the filly is quirky and hard to train; she handles good ground and needs to run over a trip and the way the race unfolded suited her with today's galloping track being to her liking; evidence was also heard from handicapper; he summarised the horses three most recent runs adding that mare had dropped from a rating of 61 to 54 during this time; in his opinion there was a significant improvement in form; he also referenced the betting trends on this animal but trainer disagreed with some of the facts put forward on this subject) (op 11/2)
