In rear and raced keenly early, last at halfway, 6th 3 out, headway going well before next where not fluent, soon ridden and kept on well to lead narrowly run-in, asserted close home (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had his palate cauterized since his last run, this being the second occasion for this procedure and he added that the gelding had a tendency to run very keen but was settling better lately and today's small field of runners on better ground allowed him to settle close to the pace) (op 9/1)
