led and set steady pace, ridden and headed over 3f out, rallied over 1f out, led again entering final furlong, driven out
dwelt, tracked leader, quickened to lead over 3f out, headed entering final furlong, no extra towards finish
tracked leading pair, pushed along over 3f out, soon ridden and outpaced, stayed on under pressure inside final furlong
A small field goes to post for this handicap and the principals look to be Misternando, Almazin Suzuka and the confident vote goes to Misternando. The three year old takes plenty of driving and appears just to do enough so he may still be ahead of the handicapper. He won well last time out when defeating Mostarsil and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Almazin rates the main danger on his second behind Jagger but that was on rained softened ground so he is passed over on this occasion. Suzuka has dropped to a handy mark but he to is better with more cut in the ground so we are happy to stick with the bang in form Misternando.
