THE ROARING TIGER

Badly checked at a crucial stage and no chance after that. Had better luck on the second day when finishing third and shapes as one to follow on the holiday circuit.

GRAIL SEEKER

Came in for heavy support in big step up in class after maiden win. Had to settle for second after being left in front way too soon, so did give up on her.

DROP OF SOMETHING

Resolute finish for fourth just over two lengths from the winner. Genuine sort who can pick up a win in the right race.
