SUMMARY

GGF from GF on Decs. Watering but no Details Given. Rain forecast for the day. Raining and dark before & during the race.

Moon Arc a cheap one at the Tattersalls Breeze sales and the problem seems to be his action in front. In the gather part he looks a neat enough smaller one with some power. But trying to fun free and showing a somwhat extravagant action overall as the rider holds him. You would presume that rangy extravagance would disappear once allowed to 'breeze' but his action looks plain horrible in front. Seems to throw both forelegs out wide and up like he's doing the 'butterfly' stroke. Hard to see what his front legs are doing at times but it looks painful enough visually to want to ask them to pull him up. Goes through the breeze willingly but never balanced and some mistimed 'bounds' thrown in. More power than 23k sounds but hard to believe his action will have smoothed out much.

Rocking The Boat setting a solid pace along the rail attended by Magic Time with close to a 3L gap back to Ryedale Mist in 3rd at Halfway.

Rocking The Boat getting a comfortable time on the rail and able to set a usable pace. Took a bit of time to get going in the penultimate 1f and not fully handling the Ramp. Probably going way at the finish. Still small to smaller but looking bulky and stronger compared to the placed horses.

With RTB getting a Soft Lead the niggling things that Khawaater did wrong meant getting a 3-4L Head Start back in the last 2f+ while racing away from the rail too much to ask. But, left with the impression that this was a slightly worying perfromance overall even given she made some ground. Khwaater has run freely before and immediately held back from a wide draw here which meant she dropped in after 0.5f with a lot of the Head Starts already donated with RTB having to do little after a good break to earn it. Khwaater mostly settling but then not looking comfortable on the Track& Going or the Headgear or both. Making progress but laboured and a bit head up and hanging right. Stalling late on and never getting to RTB and just besting MT.

Time Continuum a smaller one and green. But, showed a bit in the ruck in travelling ok 2f out and then finding a bit of response to get past some of the stragglers in the last 1f - having spent the penultimate 1f not getting a gap on the rail behind Handsome Dude. Finally released when HD (who had hampered TC in the first 1f) finally consented to run on a bit after the Ramp in the last 1f. HD having been niggled or driven for the whole race looking either unwilling or unconfortable on the Going/Track.
