Held up in rear - headway 2 out (usual 3 out) - in touch with leaders going okay after last (usual 2 out) - headway omitted last - ridden to lead and ran on towards finish (trainer said - regarding the apparent improvemnt in form - that gelding found the going too tacky last time out and the looser ground today coupled with a return to a track where he has previously run well had helped)(op 5/2)
