Held up in behind leaders, headway 7th, went fourth 9th, ridden to lead before 2 out, soon went well clear, easily (trainer said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that mare appreciated today's sounder surface whereas, in her opinion, heavy rainfall throughout the meeting had left the good ground riding softer than described on its previous run) (op 8/1 tchd 11/2)

Led, ridden after 3 out, soon headed and held, weakened after 2 out, mistake last, lost second run-in, tailed off, finished lame (vet said gelding was lame left-fire) (op 9/1)
In touch with leaders, struggling after 8th, weakened after 9th, tailed off when pulled up before 3 out (trainer's representative could offer no explanation for gelding's poor performance; post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities) (op 9/2 tchd 10/3)
