ACE CHAMPION

Raced keenly early stages when being restrained to obtain a position behind midfield, had over 5Ls to make up 400M, came with a strong finish and drove hard late stages to just get the verdict.

Bumped at the start, held up towards the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, had some work to do 400M, responded well when asked but was denied clear running from 100M to the finish. Inconclusive run.

Began well from the one draw but soon dropped to last few on rail, commenced run upon straightening and ran on well to be nearest finish.

Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, raced towards rear on the stands' side, hard ridden from 300M but showed no response, weakened thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.)

Slightly slow out and crowded, raced towards rear on the outside, very wide turning in, made some headway in straight.

Bumped shortly after start, raced better than midfield but trapped 3 wide, travelled keenly, moved closer after passing 700M, no cover throughout, made some progress early in straight, peaked 100M, ran on evenly to the line.

Jumped with them, raced towards rear on the outside, slightly improved on turn, made some progress in straight.

Average to begin, raced 2 wide in midfield, wider from 600M, 3 lengths back turning in, no clear run until final 100M, ran on evenly to the line.

Jumped only fairly and bumped, raced towards rear on the inside, angled out 450M, kept on same pace in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)
