b g Born To Sea (IRE) - Annmarie's Magic (IRE) (Flying Spur)
In rear of mid-division, slight mistake 2nd, driven after 4th and struggling towards rear briefly, headway before 4 out, closer in 4th before straight, led going best before 2 out and soon clear, jumped slightly right at last, eased run-in (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, she felt the gelding had raced freely on its previous run until hitting the second last hurdle very hard and losing its position. she felt that this had taught the horse to settle and also the fact that he was racing on ground similar to his previous victory here as a two year old, the rider took his time today, was patient when his mount hit a flat spot during todays race and allowed him to gain confidence when passing other horses were all contributing factors to todays success) (op 12/1 tchd 17/2)
