slowly away, always in rear
in touch, ridden 3f out, no impression
chased leaders, led inside final furlong, ridden out
chased leaders, led over 3f out, headed and kept on one pace inside final furlong
took keen hold held up, ridden over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
steadied start, keen early, always in rear
led, ridden and headed over 3f out, one pace final 2f
pulled hard in touch, outpaced 3f out
slowly into stride soon prominent, weakened 2f out
towards rear, pushed along 4f out, ran on final furlong, not reach leaders
mid-division, ridden over 3f out, kept on, not trouble leaders
Napinda has the highest official rating in this moderate heat but has never won on the Polytrack. We prefer TOTAL OBSESSION, despite the fact that she was doing her best work at the finish over 1m2f here last time. Kieren Fallon is back in the saddle and his mount should be able to pick off this lot up the home straight. Ermyn Flyer might need this but still looks the pick of the remainder, though Great Crested has a bit more scope.
