C Byrnes | 135 lbs | 100/30 | Won | Midfield early - towards rear of midfield before halfway - headway when switched right over 1f out - ridden to challenge inside final furlong - led final strides (trainer's rep said - regarding the apparent improvement in form - that run last time was over 7f whereas today their charge raced over 1m with the benefit of a 7lb claiming apprentice against a professional rider the previous time and furthermore the winning margin was a neck today compared to being beaten seven lengths last time; on further questioning - rep stated they only acquired filly in January and she has had an uninterrupted training regime since then; he expressed his satisfaction with ride the previous time where in his opinion filly was outpaced when the pace quickened and revealed jockey's post race comment that filly needed a step up in trip; in relation to the betting trends of the run on 17th Feb and today - rep was unable to account for the trends of both days; jockey said filly hung a small bit left in the final 50yds)(tchd 9/2) | |
