led, driven when headed over 1f out, faded final furlong
settled in 4th, smooth headway over 1f out, led approaching final furlong, quickened clear, very easily
awkward start, pulled hard tracking leader, pushed along over 3f out, weakened 2f out
bumped start, tracked leader, raced freely, switched right to challenge over 1f out, soon every chance, not pace of winner
WAALEEF is getting closer and finished third behind the progressive Gleaming Girl at Kempton last time. He makes more appeal than Cape Cay, a runner-up at the same track last time without looking like catching the easy winner. As A Dream will need to step up on her latest third over course and distance to figure but better is expected from Vejovis upped in trip for this after a poor effort at Southwell.
