Viscount Monty tracked leaders, ran wide bend after 1f, lost place over 2f out, soon behind
KIRIBATI KING took time to find his stride, but powered down the inside to get on top well inside the last. A stronger end-to-end gallop would probably have suited him even better.
Bouggler, making his handicap debut, and having his first outing of the year, had to wait for a gap to open before he struck the front at the furlong pole. He did nothing wrong thereafter, but he found the winner too strong late on. He should win a race.
Pure Scandal was comfortably held and Italian Goddess, having had every chance, gradually dropped away after the final sprint developed. A truer test over this distance would surely suit her better.
Novestar set a modest gallop, but was unable to raise his game sufficiently when push came to shove.
