Race Comments

Race 1   CADUCEUS CLUB 2YO FILLIES CLASSIC PRELUDE (MOBILE PACE)

MONARCH PRINCE - held up final bend.
THE RIVER BOY - raced wide early. When questioned regarding the performance driver S Thornley advised that after settling at the rear of the field he was reluctant to improve three wide without cover through the middle stages and was unable to make up any ground from this position over the concluding stages due to the fast closing sectionals.
