looked well treated under a penalty and didn't need to improve to follow up from last time, going away at the finish from a few others who also arrived on upward curves; mid-field, headway 4f out, challenged approaching straight, went on under 2f out, kept on well; will be higher in the weights next time but shouldn't be discounted for it.
