GGF from GFG on Decs. 3.1mm of Rain in 24hrs up to 07:00am. Stalls Centre. Fiedl raced centre. Notably Fast Conditions at the 2 day meeting. Enlace standing out for Size and quality in the leading 4 to through halfway. Leading without making and effort then a solid Effort 1f out with the jk really just testing what gears the horse might have. Eased late and a comfortable win. Perhaps just a well made, soild build medium? Zippy enough for OR80+ but short of Listed level? for eg. Gurkha Friend an unusual strong debut for a trainer who has not had a 2yo winner and first juvenile runner since 2009. Looked an ok effort rather than just being a Volunteer 2nd in a weak race. A bit green overall and showing in various ways (slower start, getting lit up downhill, hanging right last 2f). But a solid size in the group and a bit bigger than DR all round, for example. Has a slightly extravagant action but this seems to go with a willing runner and with enough athleticism to use the range. Looking a strong action in front in last 1.5f uphill. Danot a smallish Dalgleish super-fit greyhound & looking small in the front 4. Had OR70 and already run in a claimer when this race run and 70 too high for the power on show even this early in the juvenile WFA unwinding. Dark Reckoning a bit bigger than Danot all round and an ok effort in the last 2f racing wide but even 70? Another Qatar Racing runner where the reasoning behind owning it hard to place within their overall 'World Domination Enterprises' plan? Social? Charity? |
