Cha Cha Cha tracked leaders on inner going well, effort and not clear run over 2f out, switched left and quickened to lead well over 1f out, clear inside final furlong
Pure Imagination held up in rear, switched left and headway 2f out, ridden to chase winner inside final furlong, kept on
Kabis Amigos led, ridden along 3f out, headed over 2f out, soon driven and kept on same pace
Jamieson Gold held up in rear, headway on inner over 2f out, ridden to chase leaders over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong
Handsome Falcon took keen hold, close up, ridden to lead briefly over 2f out, soon headed and driven, weakened approaching final furlong
Frank Crow held up in rear, headway on outer 3f out, ridden along 2f out and soon no impression
Byron Bay chased leaders, ridden along 3f out, soon weakened
Ravi River chased leaders, ridden along over 3f out, soon weakened
Pure Imagination did well on his first run for David Nicholls having been off for the best part of a year. He was held up and ran on to take second place, faring best of those who came from behind so could well be better than the bare and should pick up a race shortly.
Handsome Falcon had every chance, but ran as though needing the race as did Ravi River, who dropped away to finish last. Frank Crow was slow to stride and never featured.
