Dwelt start, in rear, smooth headway from over 1f out, repeatedly short of room final furlong, not recover (inquiry into running and riding; jockey stated that he found himself further back than intended off what he considered to be a strong early pace before he was able to tack on to main field going down back straight as pace began to slacken; he added that having turned into home straight he was denied a clear run when Brasil Power drifted left-handed across him, which resulted in him being unable to ask for an effort until closing stages; he further added he wanted to ask gelding for one effort, late on, due to what he expected to be the collapsing pace and there appeared to be no justifiable explanation for his negative riding from stall 1 in early stages, on a horse who has predominantly raced over further; trainer's rep stated the instructions were to get cover and get gelding to relax; he added that gelding had run disappointingly following a break on his previous start but that was a much more positive run, adding that he many have been placed if not running into traffic late on; vet reported gelding had a small nick to his right-fore pastern and was one tenth lame on his right-fore) (op 11/1)
