Dovecote Lad.
Dropped back from 1100 to 1000 in a higher class race. Dropped back to last on a track that has seen every winner in the leading trio on the fence. Got cut off about 300 out and lost a bit of momentum, and ran home reasonably well to finish 3rd (NTD), all over the top of 2nd.
Will keep this one for another run. I think needs the 1100-1200, and to be ridden with more consideration for track conditions.
I don't think I have embarrassed myself too much with my first run, and since my money was on the winner, I could care less....
