Held up, headway over 1f out, stayed on to go 3rd well inside final furlong, not reach leaders (jockey said that his instructions were to drop the gelding out in the early stages and obtain cover, as he has previously displayed a tendency to race keenly. He added that he was further instructed not too hit the front too soon on the gelding and also not to resort to the whip; jockey said that the gelding was outpaced in the early stages due to the strong gallop being set by the leaders and consequently got a little further back than intended initially, but had recovered well through the middle stages of the race to be just worse than midfield leaving the back straight. He added that he asked the gelding for maximum effort under a hands and heels drive entering the home straight and the gelding had stayed on well, in a manner that indicated he would be suited by a step back up in trip; trainer's representative said that he confirmed the instructions and having spoke to the trainer, that she was satisfied with the ride) (tchd 6/1)
