Pulled hard, held up, outpaced 3 out, steady headway next, ridden run-in, edged left and soon beaten (regarding the gelding's performance, the jockey stated her instructions were to drop the gelding in and get him settled before slowly creeping into the race and coming with one run in the home straight. The rider added that she felt the gelding begin to lose ground after 3 out, and therefore she wanted to keep hold of the gelding to keep him travelling. She further stated that she did not want to chase the gelding along as she was worried he would then weaken in the home straight. The trainer stated that he was dissatisfied with the ride given and felt Jones should have been more aggressive on the gelding and had the gelding closer approaching the cross-hurdle 3 out and turning into the home straight) (tchd 15/2)
