SHADOWY PAST (B Newport) which was restless in the stalls was then slow into stride.

In the first 100m ASTRO NASCENTE (L Appo) appeared to shy away from BEST MEMORY (S Apthorpe) ducking out quickly, as a result MURPHY’S SUNRISE (D McIntosh) which was moving across to the rails inside PICK AND RUN (N Evans) was eased when tightened for room.

Approaching the home turn SHADOWY PAST ran wide taking MURPHY’S SUNRISE wider on the track. On straightening SHADOWY PAST moved out on two occasions under the whip causing MURPHY’S SUNRISE to be eased. Apprentice B Newport was severely reprimanded for allowing SHADOWY PAST to shift out under hard riding when not clear of MURPHY’S SUNRISE.
