Yes they do

And they are also running on from behind - but you can't be sitting 12 lengths back and expect to win - witness Berrymiller

?? not sure I ever look for that, far too much like sensible form studying! I have almost zero enthusiasm at the moment to be honest Dave, cards recently have been dire. Sand... its my impression of late that many winners have been previously unraced on sand and therefore always difficult to assess and I think some of the trainers must have a better idea than they are saying publicly... some of these horses are winning at a canter. At least we got to hear that Craig thinks Isle of Dogs could be the one for the next. I'll be doing a 1-2 on Craig's horses. Best of luck to you Craig (tu)... and to you of course DTF (hope you did DA!)

Are they sitting that far back because the sand is dead and they cant lay up early.

That filly is very hard to predict - last time basically won start to finish - today had no pace - and as you say, thanks to Striker for never giving up (tu)

Like Kudos in the next but very competitive.

Finally a tight one goes my way... phew! would have preferred either 2nd or 3rd to win but given the tight call for 3rd, I'll take it!!
