1st
Held up in behind leaders - went fourth 8th - close up before 10th - disputed lead from 3 out - led going easily before last - soon clear - pushed out run-in - easily (trainer said - regards the apparent improvement in form - his charge ran novicey and made many mistakes on the very testing ground from which he was unable to recover whereas today the softer ground conditions - longer trip and steadier pace allowed the gelding to get into a good rhythm all of which contributed to the improved run)(tchd 16/1)
