What we learned / things to watch
The four lay losses came in two clear ways: Reflect On Glory and Ina Mina controlled their races from the front, while Red Evolution and Sergeant Mayer finished strongly to get up late.
Royale Union's short-head defeat was the closest call. The practical takeaway is to keep paying close attention to likely front-runners and horses with a strong late finish, especially in smaller fields.
