Powerful effort on Friday from Dancing\u00a0<\/span>N<\/span>\u00a0Heaven (9), if anything it looked like he got to the front a little too early and waited on his rivals a bit and was run down in the shadows of the post for second. Wide draw here, but a strong tempo in front of him and he can be the one charging late today.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
