Held up in last pair, good headway on inside chasing leaders over 2f out, went 2nd inside final 2f, led inside final furlong, ran on well op 11/8 tchd 5/4
Fivetwoeight has shown a clear preference for this track and should be competitive in this company along with Kasbah. Robero is well handicapped but with Our Lord and Giant's Treasure in the line-up there's plenty of competition up front and that can set things up for MAAKAASIB who is open to further improvement on this surface and off this mark.
