    had his fair share of luck dropping into great positions from wide barriers in the past. didnt pan out on Saturday. 

    I wouldn't call it luck. Was positive out of the gates each time, got himself into the mix to jostle for positions and was good enough to find them. On Saturday no attempt at all to be positive out of the gates and was content to let it drift back to last.

    not sure he would have been able to drop in if he tried... 

    Nope, he wouldn't have dropped in, he would have lead or sat outside the leader in a slow tempo race. We are not blaming Jock here, Just bemused why connections or whoever gave them instructions did so with so much riding on the line. Wins easily if goes forward, IMHO.
    Agree 100% he gets in in front of Properantes and when Ellicazoom pops of the fence he has his cover. Worse case Elicazoom stays the fence or pushes of and makes Vairation get outside the lead. In either scenario he wins the race. It was very well known that there was no pace in that race.
