Has Bit of a Quirke done the same last two times?

"held on gamely" & "held on gamely" .... what did they think would happen today?

Not thick at all.All on it.

Probably. I looked at that race for 2 minutes and it was obvious what might happen. If you rode against that fav the one thing you couldn't do is let it have a comfortable lead.

Well 2nd fav stands in the stalls and 3rd fav gets left 10lts and the rest of them give the winner a soft lead so draw your own conclusions.
