5Love Your Work(2016)Liam WrightDarryll Holland5124.0012/10.30$459Slowly into stride - in rear - nudged along and ran on inside final furlong - eyecatcher (jockey said - regarding running and riding - his instructions were to expect gelding to be slowly into stride but give him a chance to find his feet - travel into race then come with his run; he added that he was aware gelding can have a high - awkward head carriage and is a big strong galloping horse which needed to be held together and kept balanced for as long as possible - adding that he felt gelding was off the bridle and going as fast as he could until turning for home; once in the straight - he cajoled gelding into giving his effort which he considered to be the best way to ride gelding; he further added that this was the best performance gelding had achieved in his four runs for the yard - despite the Wolverhampton circuit being tighter than ideal; jockey indicated that he would be recommending to trainer that gelding may now appreciate a step up in trip to 6f; trainer's rep confirmed instructions given and that the ride had accorded with them)(op 14/1)
