2Strong pace & proper test. 1st 4 home were mix of 1st & 2nd through halfway & closers from 5th (-3.5L) & 6th (-6L+) to sugest a pace just on the upper side of 'balanced'. Race to suit MrC's Run Style. Has tracked pace & finished strongly in all runs. Travel ok here & Jk said he was going nearly as fast as he could throughout. Made progress well & went clear comfortably. Can rate higher. Star Rover back to best & set pace after a quick break. Joined first by Fratellino but got rid of him before Hf. Soccer break well but pick-up slower on rail. He made effort into pace set to join SR after 2f. Pair together with Soccer looking stronger until he faded to the last 1F. SR stall a little later & plug on better & prob little scope to improve. Soccer back from break & can rate higher with more even Run Style. Fratellino probably at his best but beaten by more powerful horses. Raine's Cross niggled & looking outpaced for most of race. 6L+ off lead on rail at Hf & never travel smoothly at pace set. 6th at 1F out and strong finish through stalled. Looked very ready & a little wired for day. Need less of speed test & check attitude NTO. High Spice can do better & a number of things went wrong. Held up from wide draw & cross to rail. Cut-off by RC as going past him after 1.5F. Had to switch around him losing 2L+. Effort to get back to RC by HF. Had to switch out to centre track to make some progress later & then eased a bit. Rate much higher with her normal Run Style. |
