=== Post Race ===
[May 27th] Average pace at most with field spread out from far rail. Close packed field at Halfway and some pulling. Sparky Jack leading wide from rail. Some creeping up during the 3f out to 2f pole where the '2f Sprint' began. See picture :-
Change in Halfway positions to 2f out because of the CZ action. SJack still in lead (purple/yellow) with Cat Royale (white reins) outside as the first 2 as at Hf. But, Cobana Sand up to 3rd (black widest in colour change from orange) for example. Those nearer to rail seem to have not reacted to the CZ moves with Island Flame (yellow cap, rail) losing some ground until jk getting active a touch before 2f out. [From L to R = IF, OE, SirT, AD, SJ, VRoad (orange), CR, CS, HR.]
Island Flame looking just mdm size in this group relatively at most and showing a wide action in front. Odd run in attitude terms and never going forward willingly apart from when getting a bit free in the 2nd 1f, Jk always niggling along and having to get very active last 2f and always a bit of a delay before a response. Despite that making a similar effort in the last 2f to the first 3 overall and perhaps some mix of not feeling right on day and the undulations?
[June 9th] Al Dallah just a neat smaller medium in the field. Pulling too hard for the first half of the race and an ok effort at 2f out given that but an earlyish stall &fade in line with the pulling. Smaller but willing trier.
