HS Hidden Gold, Augusta Gold, 12/1 Babuska
Augusta Gold was outpaced and ran very wide into the straight.
Khairo started well but was outpaced and ran on at the end. He
will do better with time. Mural De Feu is a grand sort but was
never in the race today. L’Enchanteur De Pre was another who ran
at the back of the field until running on in the straight to be
nearest at the finish. Princess Eos was steadied ,then made ground
into 4th at the 2f pole before being eased when beaten.
Babuska was taken off her feet early on before running on nicely
form 3f out. Hs Hidden Gold also ran on well from well off the
pace and will do better over further. Omar was heavily backed
and led until 2f out before running on again close home. Belle
De Jour ran her best race yet, having every chance but no match
for the winner. This is her trip. Kate land always dominated the
race and at no stage looked likely to be beaten going clear at
the entrance to the straight and keeping on well.

5/4 Kelway Amber Light, 2/1 Sugar Dandy, 5/2 Shasta Bree Tarkaan,
3/1 Hardtoback,14/1 Midnight Call
The
favourite Kelway Amber Light was a big disappointment fading badly
after leading for three furlongs. Midnight Call was left at the
start and never showed. Hardtoback tracked the leaders but couldn’t
quicken when it mattered. He may not be at his best on this polytrack
surface. Shasta Bree Tarkaan ran his race , leading until the
winner Sugar Dandy went past 1 ½ f out. He had beaten Sugar Dandy
at this trip at Warwick earlier in the season and could have been
expected to confirm the form as he was 16lbs better off today
but Sugar Dandy has improved and clearly liked this surface.

Sunrise, Aikon Aszu, 7/1 Censation,8/1 Silver Seranade
Thia
and Majestic Omar both seemed unsuited by the new polytrack surface
and were never going well. Silver Serenade spoilt her chance at
the start and wasn’t disgraced considering how much ground she
forfeited. Aikon Aszu led for most of the way but had no answer
when Segovia Sunrise kicked for home 4f out. The latter was clear
entering the short straight and should perhaps have won but his
rider was surprised by the late surge from Hazzina Bint Kray who
had looked beaten 2f out but who produced a storming run to lead
in the last 50 yards. Censation plugged on well for third.

5/4 Horizon, 7/4 Lubaba, 2/1 Fayre Abi, 5/2 WFA Leopard,20/1 Prince
Calaf
The
first three home provided a thrilling race and the issue was in
doubt until the post. WFA Leopard got away well and poached a
couple of lengths on the others. He was never headed but had little
to spare when challenged by first Fayre Abi on his inside then
a late thrust from Lubaba who was only inches behind at the finish.
Horizon was never traveling and may have been unsuited by the
surface. Prince Calaf was 21 lbs out of the handicap but ran a
great race having every chance 4f out but being understandably
outpaced when they quickened for home.

2/5 Pride of James, 5/2 Great Lady, 5/1 Georgia Nakita,6/1 Chiloe,
12/1 Helicons Just William
The
start was a bit of a shambles with three of the runners rooted
to the spot whilst Georgia Nakita and Chiloe got on with the race.
The others finally joined in with a circuit to go but when Chiloe
quickened the tempo only Pride of James could go with him as the
others ran out of stamina. The winner stalked Chiloe until deciding
to go past inside the final furlong for an easy victory. There
was 12 seconds(around 50 lengths) before Great Lady finished in
third with the others finishing eased down.

Millenium
Ibn Procyon lost a couple of lengths at the strat and never got
into it. Island Rover looked the winner when leading into the
straight but seemed to lose balance and momentum in the final
furlong. Sand isn’t his favourite surface. Al Reeh Janoob is better
over further but he ran well, leading and then battling on well
for second place. The winner Olivphaya was taken off her feet
and needed the final furlong to get a chance to strike, fairly
flying at the finish.

Crusaders Magician
Sakit
Sura was always prominent and kicked clear 2 ½ f out never looking
in any danger thereafter. He hadn’t won for a long time but had
been dropped a long way in the handicap and was coming back to
form. Ben Kenobi ran his best race for a long time coming from
off the pace to snatch second inside the final furlong. Nicholettah
ran well chasing the winner for the last three furlongs. Ermelo
was always in mid division and was never dangerous. Island Benedict
had every chance but downed tools when headed 5 f out.
