slowly into stride, in rear, ridden over 3f out, no impression final 2f, eased over 1f out
prominent, ridden and hung left 2f out, wandered over 1f out, soon weakened
tracked leaders, ridden over 3f out, every chance over 1f out, ran on well to take 2nd towards finish
tracked winner, ridden to challenge over 2f out, weakened towards finish
made all, quickened pace 4f out, ridden over 3f out, under pressure over 1f out, stayed on well inside final furlong
A tricky little race to round off the card and none can confidently be ruled out. However, Red Fort could well have plenty more to offer and the Green Desert colt is just preferred over Black Falcon and Mujhud over this trip. Sovereign Dreamer is in danger of becoming disappointing and may be best watched today, while Itemise will probably strip fitter for the outing. Therefore, Red Fort, who ran out a ready winner of a competitive Newmarket maiden, can draw the sting out of his rivals if he puts in a similar effort today. The fact that his stable is riding the crest of the wave at present is also an obvious plus and the three-year-old could easily extend their run of good form if he builds on his previous experiences today.
