towards rear of midfield, smooth headway from 2f out, pushed along to lead over 1f out, ridden and went clear inside final furlong, easily (regarding the apparent improvement in form, trainer said gelding ran at Killarney on the 13th July where she broke badly but did not run as bad as her finishing position, he added that she previously ran at Killarney on the 17th May where she did not handle the soft underfoot conditions; six days previously she made her seasonal appearance at Gowran Park; in his opinion, the filly is quirky and hard to train; she handles good ground and needs to run over a trip and the way the race unfolded suited her with today's galloping track being to her liking; evidence was also heard from Mr. G. O'Gorman, IHRB Senior Rules of Racing Handicapper, he summarised the horses three most recent runs, he added that the horse had dropped from a rating of sixty one to fifty four during this time, in his opinion there was a significant improvement in form; Mr O'Gorman also referenced the betting trends on this animal but C. Byrnes disagreed with some of the facts put forward on this subject)

What these words mean
Underrated horse
We think this horse has a better chance than the bookmakers' odds suggest.
Our top pick
The horse with the highest TrackLab Score in the race.
TrackLab Score
Our model's estimate of a horse's chance of winning, as a number out of 100. The scores in a race add up to 100.
Ground
How the going was on the day, from Firm (hard and dry) to Heavy (very wet and muddy). On all-weather tracks it's Standard, Fast or Slow.
Race level (Class)
From Class 1 (elite) down to Class 7 (lowest).
Group, Grade and Listed
The top races. Group 1 on the Flat and Grade 1 over jumps are the highest level, then 2 and 3. Listed races sit just below.
Handicap
The handicapper gives better horses more weight to carry, so in theory they'd all finish together.
Maiden
A race for horses that haven't won yet.
Novice
A race for horses that are new to this type of race.
Chase, hurdle and bumper
Chase: jumps over fences. Hurdle: jumps over low hurdles. Bumper: a flat race for young jump horses.
Distance (m and f)
m is a mile and f a furlong, about 200 metres; 8 furlongs make a mile.
Each way
A bet that pays out if your horse wins or finishes in the top 3 (how far down it pays varies by race). It is really two bets.
Weight
How much the horse carries, including the jockey. 9st 5lb means nine stone five pounds.
Jockey claim
An apprentice jockey can claim a weight discount, so the horse carries a little less.
Headgear
Blinkers, visor, cheekpieces, tongue tie, hood and eyeshield change what the horse sees or feels.
