Took keen hold, raced wide, in touch with leaders, headway on outer from over 2f out, kept on well and pressed leader inside final furlong, just failed
Dwelt start, raced in last, detached after 1f, some headway from 2f out, never on terms (inquiry was held into riding of gelding; jockey said his instructions were to be positive from the start and ride the race accordingly but after gelding dwelt leaving the stalls causing him to be slowly away, he encouraged his mount forward to latch on to the back of the field; jockey added that as field exited the back straight, he felt his mount become outpaced and briefly become adrift of the field and in order to make up the lost ground he was encouraging gelding forward; jockey further added that after entering the home straight and feeling his mount become more balanced, he proceeded to ask gelding for maximum effort which he felt his mount responded to all the way to the line and in his opinion obtained best possible placing.; he also added that he recommended stepping gelding up in trip may be of benefit in the future) (op 40/1)
