Slow away from the barriers and without much luck throughout the run, he nevertheless showed his quality late, digging deep in the straight.

However, towards the end of his last campaign he lost form for no obvious reason and struggled to reproduce his best on race day.

Congratulations to the winning connections — your patience has been rewarded.
