chased leaders, effort on stands rail over 1f out, chased winner final furlong, kept on same pace
steadied start, held up in rear, never on terms
held up and behind, headway on stands rail halfway, driven over 1f out, kept on to 3rd inside final furlong, no impression
dwelt, soon chased leaders, led on stands rail over 2f out, hung left 2f out, headed over 1f out, soon weakened
chased leader until 3f out, weakened 2f out
led until over 2f out, weakened final furlong
chased leaders, pushed along 4f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, stayed on, driven out
towards rear, some headway over 1f out, no threat
always towards rear, struggling from halfway, never a factor
Katmai River beat little when scoring over C&D last week and this is tougher with a penalty to carry. HEREFORD BOY's recent placed efforts, including his third over a mile here last time, looks better form and the gets the nod dropping back in trip. Goal won on the Polytrack last week but has done all his winning so far off lower marks while Highland Harvest is struggling for form at present but would get involved if rediscovering his best.
