bubbling under, lighter raced than last year (won this event) and doing well to finish as close as he did this time around, racing well away from the main action like the third, picking a passage that took more negotiating, threading his way through, ending up more to the middle, staying on all the time.

They spread across the track, the draws of the first 2 contrasting with the next 2 home, but more pertinent was that the third/fourth came from off the pace, Ocean Sheridan gone by then, despite being on the far flank throughout, and generally the race wasn't so competitive as the field size might suggest, plenty below form for one reason or another.
