ungenerously, blundered badly when it ran out across the heels of Patterns. Shaanxi

Hill experienced difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the straight.

today were similar to last week's, but with not as much pace on today she was able to take
up a more forward position. App.B.Timmis (Sunder Bank) pleaded guilty to a charge
of careless riding (AR.137(a)), in that she permitted her mount to shift in near the 200m,
