Held up in rear, going easily 2f out, switched left and pushed along over 1f out, ridden and steady headway inside final furlong, went third post (op 16/1 tchd 14/1)
Took keen hold, in touch with leaders, going okay when not clear run over 1f out, switched right and went third inside final furlong, no extra when tenderly handled and lost two places towards finish (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to obtain cover early in race and challenge between horses in home straight; he stated that he was happy with where gelding jumped leaving stalls and was positioned on rail, mid-division in an evenly run race; he further added that he was happy with way gelding was travelling throughout, before initially asking gelding to quicken approx 2f out; he went on to say that he was conscious that gelding needed to be produced late on and therefore was keen to delay his challenge as late as possible, switching right-handed for a run between Fieldsman and Arlo's Sunshine approx 1f out; in his opinion when giving gelding daylight between runners he soon felt that gelding had no more to give on run to line) (op 11/1)
Slowly away, in rear, brief headway against far rail over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong (jockey said gelding was slowly away) (op 9/2 tchd 4/1)
