7th
Dwelt start - held up in last - nudged along from over 1f out - some headway inside final furlong - eyecatcher (inquiry into running and riding; jockey said instructions were to expect filly to be slowly away as she had been on her two previous runs - but get a nice lead and ride her to obtain best possible placing; she said that filly had been slowly away so she elected to allow filly to find her feet and drop down closer to rail; she added that approaching 4f marker - she was mindful of a rival racing greenly in advance of her mount and had not wanted to meet with any interference; she said that after riding filly along between 4f and 3f - filly had recovered some of the ground surrendered early on and tacked on to backmarkers; from this point jockey said that she was not overly forceful on filly - largely due to the fact her mount hung right-handed turning in - a fact that she reported at scales and then continued to do so in home straight to such an extent that she felt it safest to give filly a hands and heels ride and had been unable to exhibit a greater degree of vigour due to needing increased pressure on the left-rein in order to keep filly straight; she further stated that she had recommended to trainer that filly would benefit from a step up in trip; trainer's rep confirmed instructions; however - she indicated she was surprised that filly had got so far back through early stages and whilst acknowledging that filly was hanging right - she considered jockey could conceivably have been more positive and ridden with greater purpose at stages)(op 40/1)
