| Tracked leaders throughout, closed in 2nd before 2 out, 2 lengths down and slow last, driven to lead inside final 50yds (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that he was surprised by gelding's win today as he had eased off working it in recent weeks; this may have helped freshen it up; he added gelding is not entirely genuine and perhaps the undulations of the track, where it had run reasonably well in the past, had helped bring about the improvement) (op 25/1 tchd 33/1) | ||||||||||
