Slow — could be soft ground, easy lead, or tactical race.

In-running (Maximum Velocity (IRE))

“Took keen hold - made all - switched left soon after start - against far rail after 1f - ridden over 1f out - 2 lengths down inside final furlong - pushed out and reduced lead towards finish - always doing enough”

AI top-rated Perfect Ruler (score 50.6) finished 5th.
