1st 11 Imperial Choice (IRE) N/A AVG
C Byrnes 131 lbs 7/1 Won Towards rear of midfield - smooth headway from 2f out - pushed along to lead over 1f out - ridden and went clear inside final furlong - easily (trainer said - regarding the apparent improvement in form - that gelding ran at Killarney on the 13th July where she broke badly but did not run as bad as her finishing position suggested; - he added that she previously ran at Killarney on the 17th May where she did not handle the soft underfoot conditions; six days previously she made her seasonal appearance at Gowran Park; in his opinion - the filly is quirky and hard to train; she handles good ground and needs to run over a trip and the way the race unfolded suited her with today's galloping track being to her liking; evidence was also heard from handicapper; he summarised the horses three most recent runs adding that mare had dropped from a rating of 61 to 54 during this time; in his opinion there was a significant improvement in form; he also referenced the betting trends on this animal but trainer disagreed with some of the facts put forward on this subject)(op 11/2)
