Soon tracked leaders, improved to lead 2 1/2f out, ridden clear final furlong, stayed on well, comfortably (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that her horses were under a cloud for a long period and she began to train this gelding differently by turning it out into a paddock after daily excercise; she noticed that it began to freshen up and its work also improved where it showed speed, something that it had failed to show earlier in the season; consequently, she dropped it back in trip today.) (op 7/2 tchd 10/3)
Prominent, squeezed for room before halfway, challenged under pressure early straight and soon bumped, no impression and kept on same pace from 1f out (op 7/2 tchd 4/1)
Soon towards rear, no extra approaching straight and eased, tailed off, choked in running (trainer's rep said colt choked in running; vet said colt was found to be blowing hard post-race) (op 10/3 tchd 7/2)
