chased leaders, took closer order over 3f out, led over 1f out, quickened clear, easily
with leader, pushed along over 4f out, every chance over 2f out, kept on under pressure, no chance with easy winner

Rated 90 just over a year ago, SAPTAPADI has been well beaten in handicaps of late but may bounce back in this lowly company. War Poet is a course and distance winner but ran a shocker here last time and Slide Show, another winner over track and trip, hasn't raced since 2013. Yourholidayisover has little chance on today's terms and is easily dismissed.
