GFG as on decs. 3mm Watering Wed & 5mm Thu. GStick 14:00 Rail Out 6yds from 6f Pole to 1.5f out Cutaway. Actual Race Distance 5f 36yds. 20yds increase. 21DegC. Light to Medium NW wind. 3/4 Headwind from left HS. Interesting race as eg of how pace on this turning track suits diff types. Quatuor & Blithe Spirit hooked up in lead in LAGnes with Q on rail & BS outside. Quatuor able to finish that race off strongly & BS fading last 0.5f. Position reversed here but a strong pace & Quatuor tv btr in Ln1 then BS. Able to make effort but not get away as in LAgnes and also hung right towards centre track. Pace meant Quatuor stalling & fading last 0.5f & set up for a closer. Ifwecan a bigger, lumbering. type who looked unbal LH on debut & hung LH STO but seemed to handle EPSM ok. But back to looking gangling here and struggling with bends. Niggled or Dv most of race and compared to neater & nippier fils in LdgPr looked and old boat rolling around. But a trier & never gave up and able to raise an effort in str and despite running wdst got to Quatuor 1/4s before fdg. Can rate higher. SRDevil meanwhile the exact opposite of Ifwecan and that efficiency meant able to squeeze a win thanks to the pace. Handled track well and railed tightly. 3L+ back at Hf but on RL and racing settled and balanced. Railed well to Str and made run tight to far RL. Able to just get to lead near line as others faded and in Centre track. SStar gone backwards in form since York win and another who started in NWBY Apr 5f Mdn that hasn't progressed for the trainer (Cav Okay, Magic City, Sun Ship, etc). Also not fully handling track and just a brief effort inside-2f but fading-0.5f+. Rough Courte broke wd from the wdst draw then tried chasing group 2Wdov and dv along. Then hanging right ins-2f and ended up hanging out of VT pic in Str. |
