Prominent, led 2f out, headed over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong (got loose before race; having been checked by vet, gelding was deemed fit to race) (op 8/1 tchd 15/2)
Held up in rear, nudged along from over 1f out, headway final furlong, never dangerous (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that her instructions were to ride forwards of mid-division, but, having jumped slowly from stalls, she was unable to obtain this position and therefore settled towards rear of field; she continued that from an early stage she felt mare was unsuited by the ground, which she felt was riding loose, adding that she felt mare was unbalanced on the undulating track; trainer confirmed instructions and reported that mare had yet to win a race for him; he further stated that horses run for the rider even if it sometimes looks like she is lacking in vigour in closing stages; vet examined mare post-race on two occasions and found her to have a cut on her left-hind leg, an aggravation of a previous wound) (tchd 20/1)
Prominent, lost position 3f out, soon in rear, eased over 1f out (trainer could offer no explanation for the poor form shown other than jockey reported that gelding stopped quickly; vet had nothing to report) (op 16/1 tchd 12/1)
