Slowly into stride, in touch in rear, headway over 2f out, went 2nd over 1f out, ridden to lead inside final furlong, soon clear, ran on op 9/2 tchd 5/1
Dourado (6/4), Luis Vaz De Torres (7/2), Hateya (4/1), Prestbury Park (9/2), Berkshire Boy (8/1), Highland Acclaim (14/1), Arrogant (14/1)
LUIS VAZ DE TORRES warrants plenty of respect in his hat-trick bid and the suspicion is that the handicapper is struggling to get a hold of him in his current form. Dourado is a very consistent colt with course and distance form in the book. Hateya would be a danger to all if she can settle better than she did last time out on the all-weather.
