reluctant loading and restless in stalls, started very slowly, well behind, latched on to rear of field halfway, no impression when hung right in behind rival inside final 2f
tracked leaders on inside, not much room on rail over 1f out, went 2nd inside final furlong, stayed on towards finish, always held
rearing in stalls, made all, ridden and pressed inside final furlong, stayed on gamely, unchallenged
held up in last pair, closer in 4th halfway, ridden 2f out, no extra inside final furlong
raced bit keenly, tracked winner, pushed along over 2f out, ridden 2f out, lost 2nd inside final furlong, kept on but never going pace to challenge, lost 3rd post
All have revealed some ability and one sure to be popular is Nusa Dua, a fast-finishing runner-up at Bath nine days ago on handicap debut after three modest juvenile runs. Hughie Morrison is very good with these steady developers and Buick is booked. She's tempting but AUSTRALIAN ANGEL has also improved and was good enough to land a Class 4 handicap at Newbury under a good Josephine Gordon ride. She's only 3lb higher, drops to Class 5 and is progressive. She's just preferred. Jalea Moon may need to come down a pound or two and Echo Chamber looks to want more time, whereas Go Beyond did more than enough last time to get involved.
