SUMMARY

GGF by Race Time. G in early am from GGF on Decs. 1mm Rain Mon, 1.75mm Tue.

CoC quote = "ail out 3 yards from 1 mile to 6f, and then out 6 yards from 6f to winning post. Adds 21 yards to races of 1m+ and 10 yards to 7f races.".

Stiff to Medium Easterly Wind = 3/4 Tailwind in the HS.

=== Post Race ===

Usual comment that hard to believe, on visual evidence, that the amount of Rail Out added up to only 10yds extra. Fastish conditions with a Tailwind. Race boiled down to a 2-horse sprint between Epsom Icon & Shadow Leader. SG a softish lead again but had failed to stay LTO and fading in the last 0.5f here. SG just a neat medium one and probably short of 75. Epsom Icon a bit smaller than SG as a filly and a bit lighter made. But, head down trier and ok length and range. Moves ok. Wore down SG and 70+ but full 75?

Other 3 in field all flawed efforts leaving SG/EIcon to context the race until SG failing to stay. Phantom Flipper and odd career. Taller and narrow type and lack of build cating a question over whether he is over 70 by much. Ok debut when running prominently. Weird drift and SP STO and the post race WTRB seemed pre-planned (i.e., before the race). The STO run might have you thinking he was being strangled for a usable OR mark. PF then looking to struggle for pace over 6f 3TO and getting a an unthreatening 2nd late on, like a 7f+ stayer. That effort got him OR78 and he turns up here in a maiden 4TO rather than a nursery. 78 looking high at present. PF failing to handle the track and drifting right up hill as the leading pair duelled. As on 3TO he seemed to be staying on late with the race all but over. A fast 7f here still looking too slick for him. But, you could wonder whether there was any bad atttude in or whether he just lacks pace.

Ritasun in an XNB and not pulling. But looking a bulky barrel and not that fit. Ran competently and an ok debut for 70+ and scope in his bulkiness if he can shift it. Jassur still in the shadow roll which seemed to go with head up rolling around FTO rather than going forward when asked. To free in the first half of the rac ehere and head up and FFH a bit. The nothing happening in the last 2f and eased in the last 1f. Unable to show what he can do at presnet through some mix of attitude, green, free, etc.
