made most, ridden over 1f out, no extra and headed inside final furlong, lost 2nd near finish
raced against nearside rail, with leaders, hard ridden 2f out, weakened over 1f out
outpaced and always in rear
with leaders, ridden to chase leader 2f out, stayed on to take 2nd well inside final furlong, no impression on winner
pressed leaders on outer to halfway, weakened rapidly, tailed off
slow into stride, recovered and soon in touch until ridden and outpaced final 2f
settled behind leaders, ridden to chase leader over 1f out, driven and ran on to lead inside final furlong, readily
The Fisio is drawn low but apart from that, has the edge on fitness and can take care of Roxanne Mill and Tapau who return to the fray, and also Maddies A Jem who has more to do. The Fisio has done well to get back on track after having a serious knee injury that kept him sidelined for a year. He bounced back with a win at Lingfield in January, but has failed to add to that since. His best recent run came at Bath the time before last when he was a rather unlucky second under Martin Dwyer, and although that was over six furlongs, he will have no problem tackling the minimum trip again. With Milton Bradley's pair Roxanne Mill and Tapau returning from winter breaks, it may be that Maddies A Jem will provide more of a threat. The John Jenkins-trained filly, a Yarmouth maiden winner last August, finally returned to form when landing a class D handicap here three weeks ago. She won readily, and although the drop back in trip is a bit of a worry, she still makes more appeal than the rest apart from The Fisio who gets the vote.
