CAP FERRAT

Rail position in rear of mid-field, unable to secure clear run until 300m out, lacked pace to challenge.

Settled towards the rear 8Ls off the pace, had some work to do 400M but failed to run on. (Jockey - didn't run out a strong 2400M and after the event was feeling the effects of a hard run.)

Began well from gate 1, positioned 1-1/4L behind the leader on rail, easy run to turn, showed good response in straight, took the lead 150M, kept on well but unable to hold off the winner close home.

Made contact shortly after start, raced better than midfield on the middle track in the early stages, peaked on run approaching 500M, weakened thereafter.

Bumped on jumping, raced towards rear on the outside, 4 lengths or so back turning in, finished off strongly to take 2nd on line, just beaten by a neck.

Began awkwardly and made contact, raced 3 wide at rear, 6-1/2L back turning in, made no impression in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)

Bumped on the hindquarters soon after the start, raced better than midfield, peaked on run 500M, weakened 300M, eased final 150M.

Moderately away, raced towards rear on the outside, 4-1/2L back turning in, one-paced in the run home. (See Racing Incidents.)

Began well from gate 1, positioned 1 to 2 lengths behind the leader on the inside, moved a bit closer along the rail on turn, hit the front 350M, kept on strongly to the line, won by 1-1/2L.

Bumped start, raced better than midfield on the outside, no cover throughout, peaked early in straight, weakened thereafter.

Average to begin sent forward to take the lead, travelled comfortably in the middle stages, hard ridden after passing 250M, showed very good response, easily scored, impressive.

Average to begin, positioned 2 wide, a length or so back, found rail 900M, saved ground on turn, took the lead approaching 200M, kept on well but unable to hold off the winner close home.

Taken back from a wide draw, raced towards rear on the inside, 7 lengths or so back, angled out after passing 500M, made no impression in straight.
