Chased winner who soon went clear, ridden over 2f out, no impression (jockey said, regarding running and riding, she was given the option to make the running if required, but it was the geldings first run over 2m and she felt the gelding was going as quick as he could for much of the race by maintaining her position detached from the winner but 15 or 20 lengths clear of the remaining runners) (op 5/1 tchd 11/2)
Chased clear leaders, went 3rd over 4f out, never on terms (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, her instructions were to get cover and she felt the mare was outpaced throughout) (op 4/1 tchd 7/2 and tchd 5/1)
Held up, not clear run over 5f out, switched right over 3f out, stayed on under pressure to go 4th inside final furlong, never on terms (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, his instructions were to drop the colt out and switch him off, he added the colt had missed the break and entering the back straight on the final circuit was unable to improve his position, due to being held in by cotton club, which meant he was denied a clear run for some distance, he then had to steady and angle widest leaving the back straight to make his run) (op 2/1 tchd 5/4)
Slowly into stride, held up, ran on inside final furlong, never nearer (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to drop the gelding in and get cover and try to produce the gelding as late as possible. jockey also explained that making any mid-race move on his mount would've been contrary to both his instructions and the geldings established racing pattern) (op 33/1)
Held up, some headway on outer over 5f out, ridden over 3f out, hung left inside final furlong, never dangerous (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to settle around midfield but to ensure he had cover throughout, jockey also stated that whilst he considered improving his position going out on the final circuit, he was reluctant to be the runner which chased the tearaway and carted the rest of the field into the race) (op 20/1)
Held up, went 3rd over 8f out until over 4f out, soon ridden, never dangerous (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to be around midfield, but importantly maintain cover) (tchd 33/1)
Slowly into stride, never on terms (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to jump out and be prominent, however the gelding had been slowly away, which meant he raced further back than intended) (op 9/1 tchd 8/1)
Held up, pulled hard, weakened over 2f out (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to drop the gelding in and find a nice rhythm as he was having his first run over 2 miles, he added the gelding over-raced and didn't stay the trip) (op 14/1)
Slowly into stride, headway to go 3rd over 12f out until over 8f out, ridden and weakened over 3f out (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions had been to jump out and get a good position, but to ensure he obtained cover, he added the gelding had stopped quickly at the 5 furlong marker) (op 16/1 tchd 25/1)
