GINGER AND TONIC's full profile →

The fastest thing home late — but from 12th at the corner the race was already gone, and it flattered into 4th. A surge past stopping horses is not a winning run: the placing reads better than the race was. Read it as a caution on the form line, not a run to follow next start.
