SUMMARY

GF as on decs. Watering but no details given. Stalls Stands Side. Stiff- easterly Wind = close to Direct Tailwind. === Pre Race === Some trainers clearly expecting this race to divide. Cole jks = Morris (BoB), Crowley (HoC), Kirby (Indrapura). Meehan jks = Schofield (? Malakky), Turner (JS), Fortune (SM). Goldenfield the first runner of the season for trainer Stevens and much later start than in first 2 years. Debut season fine but second season poor and hints he needs a good horse to get wins rather than being able to train one to work-the-system. Also, too magnificently pleased with himself to be able to warm to. In 215 uses the word 'big' about Goldenfield 3 times including saying he is 'big moving'. Doubted the horse would be ready for RASCT but expected a 6fg mid-season start but a 7f horse. Which sounds fine and promising. See how the Profile plays out in reality. Channon using the word 'smashing' about Harlequin Rock in 215 adding "he is built like a bull". Latest work video for HR from 22nd May and a negative. Working with Blacklister and an unraced 2yo. Trio tring to hang onto lead horse Harlequin Striker uphill. HR doing a 2L worse job than Blacklister and also behind the other 2yo colt. Looking a smaller one and perhaps not as bulky as Blacklister. === Post Race === [June 23rd] Mithqaal running STO in a race set-up for a possible improver STO and a middling bar likely to be set. Mithqaal given a typically non-involving ride by O'Neill for a Hamdan debut. Slow break wide and after recovering then allowed to drop back through the field to 14th at Halfway with the jk inactive. Horse a bit green but also not moving smoothly in front. Mithqaal then seeming to be travelling ok into the last 2f and one of the last asked for an effort (part of the Quiet Intro' or a bit better). Just a limited effort, again looking a bit head up and laboured in front, before fading back. Smaller Medium to Medium if ok build. Not showing enough in PRev/Race to encourage the STO blossomer hope. [July 3rd] Viscount Barfield just ok positive from PRev. Shorter medium one with a long neck. Quite strongly built as a positive. Ran acceptably in the race given he was green and the slowest starter. Probably last and a bit adirft after 0.5f and got back tot he field ok. Again, an ok effort at 2f out withouht looking stronger than that. Should be 70+ and around 75.
