INVICTUS DRAGON

Away in line, raced in second half of the field 5-6Ls back, failed to quicken final 400M. (Jockey - unable to finish off the race which he attributed to the horse carrying 133lbs and still being relatively immature.)

Shifted out at start, raced prominently on the stands' rail, hard ridden approaching 300M, finished off evenly.

Slightly slow out and crowded, raced towards rear on the inside, angled out after passing 700M, 5 lengths back turning in, made no impression in straight.

Began smartly from gate 1, sent forward to take the lead, led by 1/2L turning in, peaked and headed 300M, weakened inside final furlong.

Moderately away from gate 1, sat right behind the leader on the inside, saved ground on turn, unable to obtain clear run in straight.

Jumped well from gate 1, sent forward to race prominently, took the lead 500M, peaked and headed 300M, weakened final 100M.

Crowded start, raced 2 wide in midfield, angled out 500M, peaked early in straight, weakened thereafter.

Away well, positioned 2 wide, a length or so back, found rail near 550M, 1-1/2L back turning in, kept on evenly in straight.

Shifted in shortly after start and made contact, positioned 2 lengths behind the leader, same margin back on turn, finished off evenly.

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.

Taken back to race towards rear on the inside, 6 lengths or so back, saved ground on turn, showed no response early in straight, eased final furlong. (See Racing Incidents.)
