    Settled in the pack - pushed along with a furlong to go but unable to close - dropped away near the finish

  • Pos 4 4 Aug Ffos Las

    Settled towards the back early - blocked for room then eased left approaching the furlong marker to find space - fought into contention with a furlong left - held on for fourth without finding more close home
