Slowly into stride, raced towards far side of group, behind, headway under pressure 2f out, ridden over 1f out, never able to get on terms, weakened inside final furlong op 3/1 tchd 11/4
Astro Jakk (5/2), Saaheq (10/3), North Wind (5/1), Lord Riddiford (6/1), Moveonup (8/1), Moonraker (17/2), Samovar (12/1)
An interesting contest. Saaheq enters calculations from the head of the weights, while his former trainer Mick Appleby runs Moonraker against him and he goes very well here. Moveonup is progressing well and could still make an impact now hiked up to this level, but the suggestion is ASTRO JAKK, who scored decisively here on his penultimate start and is excused his latest effort, which came just a day later.
