chased leaders, outpaced 2f out, weakened over 1f out
last to break, held up in touch in rear, took keen hold, pushed along over 2f out, switched right and 3rd over 1f out, unable to get on terms
Just a small field and likely at the weights to boil down to a match between Rodaini and HUGIN with the latter the suggestion over this mile despite being badly in at the weights on current handicap ratings but the mile trip may just test the stamina of the likely market leader. Used To Be should be able to take the minor placing with Mitigate struggling for form at the current time and not looking suited by turf.
