Political Power recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 3 9 Dec Newcastle (AW)

    Sat behind the front group early - driven forward past two furlongs out and found more approaching the final furlong to move into second - couldn't find more inside the closing stages and gave way close home to finish third

  • Pos 5 4 Nov Wolverhampton (AW)

    Sluggish start - swift advance from outside to sit close up 7f out - moved into second shortly after - eased back out of that spot over 2f out under pressure - faded in the last furlong to finish 5th

  • Pos 2 17 Oct Newcastle (AW)

    Settled midfield - moved through strongly wide of rivals a furlong out - closed into second inside final furlong but narrowly denied

  • Pos 9 8 Aug Newmarket

    Sluggish start and unbalanced break - settled towards the back of the field throughout - never able to threaten leaders - finished 9th
