SUNISA, who was taken noticeably wide through the last mile, sauntered home and was value for considerably more than thebare margin as her rider did not have to push her out from the last. Connections reported she is a speed 2m hurdler and found the tougher track at Leicester just finding her out. She is also strengthening up and given a similar speed track can follow upthis good win.
Daraybad tracked the winner wider out to add another placing and did nothing wrong on what was effectively his seasonal return after 203 days off. He should soon make amends and shapes as if further will suit in time.
The handicapper looks to have caught up with Dishdasha after his goodrecent run but he was still far from disgraced in arguably a better race than he has farmed so far.
Reaching Out and Three Ships were both tired before the last after turning in with the leading group.
The Local, a winning chaser andmaking his seasonal return, ensured it was a strong gallop, sent into a clear lead and he only gave best three out and was not punished in a lost cause up the straight.
