PRESTIGE HALL

Tracked leaders, raced wide throughout, briefly hampered 900m out, weakened quickly in home straight.

Sat midfield, traveled okay, responded strongly under whip inside 100M.

Sat rear, made good ground from behind, stretched out nicely.

Began only fairly, raced behind midfield on the inside, saved ground on turn, angled out 450M, not enough room early in straight, cleared 200M, one-paced thereafter.

Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, raced at rear throughout, never a factor.

Bumped on jumping, raced behind midfield on the outside, 3 to 4 lengths back turning in, made good progress in straight to make frame.

Began only fairly from gate 1, raced better than midfield on rail, saved ground on turn, peaked early in straight, weakened thereafter. (Blood in trachea.)

Slow to begin, raced at rear on the stands' rail, unable to obtain clear run final 400M, ran on evenly to the line.

Taken back to race towards rear on the outside, very wide turning in, made good progress in straight to take a place, nearest on line.

Shifted in at start and made contact, raced 2 wide in midfield, awkwardly placed near 450M, 4 lengths back turning in, made minor progress in straight.

Shifted out at start and made contact, sent forward to race prominently on the outside, there to turn, peaked early in straight, weakened final 250M. (See Racing Incidents.)

Commenced well, positioned 1 to 2 lengths behind the leader on the stands' side, hard ridden after passing 300M, showed very good response, took the lead approaching 150M, kept on very well to the line, easily scored.

Bumped shortly after start, taken back to race at rear, 6-1/2L back turning in, made no impression in straight.
