always prominent, led over 2f out, soon ridden, stayed on strongly
tracked leaders, switched left to challenge over 1f out, kept on same pace
held up in touch, headway over 1f out, soon ridden to challenge, kept on same pace
chased leaders, outpaced halfway, some late headway, never on terms
led until over 2f out, weakened over 1f out
dwelt, always behind
slowly into stride, always behind
