GS from GSS on Decs. Light+ Tailwind. === Pre Race === Candy Hill a cheap buy at the Gorsebridge 2yo sales. Sale results page improved greatly & can get to a page which shows both a pre sale video (Sirecam) & the Breeze Video. Pre sale video taken from an oddly low angle which could make anything look bigger than it is. CH looking small but a deep enough block and only tailing off a bit behind. Neck a bit long. Balanced walk if not that loose/smooth. Looking small in the Breeze and not using much reach. Goes along at her pace looking as if working hard. Mid 50s perhaps and trainer Dalgleish has a good record (check) of getting the best out of these small fillies (Ko Cache, etc). === Post Race === Average Pace for 1f downhill then Irish Cailin pulled to the lead and to the rail by 2f gone. Joined by First Bombardment, a serial over-racer to go with a number of other negative attitude issues, drawn widest and vaguel settling early then running freely to go forward to join IC. Risk Adjusted slightly niggled after 2f as the free going leading pair upped the pace and putting 2L+ into RA. Cotton Camera perhaps the smallest of the five and not enjoying the downhill part. Niggled along, part stumble after 1f then dropping last and a bit adrift after 2f as the pace upped. Leading pair gone too fast and fading in the last 1f to allow Risk Adjusted (driven at 2f out but not making much ground back until fading started ahead) to stay on for the win. First Bombardment typical of his previous efforts, run too free, look to be going alright 2f out then a fade in the last 1f. Probably the strongest build. Not much excuse for his amount of fade given Irish Cailin stuck at it better in the last 1f having worked as hard for the first 3f. IC standing up the view there is some 60s usable build there. Comparinka running wide of the rail and staying on to be 2nd wihout ever being competitive in the race. A bit narrow and leggy and late 50s? Cotton Camera always under pressure and only a mild effort at 2f out before fading last 0.5f. Looking a bit overpowered but also perhaps not handling the track or conditions (any bas attitude?). |
