Comments in running

Cobo Bay made all, driven and stayed on strongly final 2f, clear approaching final furlong, unchallenged

Albaqaa took keen hold, headway and pulled outside over 2f out, went 2nd and hung right over 1f out, no impression

Ivestar soon chasing leaders, driven 4f out, one pace final 2f

Robby Bobby tracked leaders, effort over 2f out, weakened approaching final furlong

Upton Grey held up, headway to track leaders over 6f out, went 2nd over 3f out, weakened 2f out, eased inside final furlong

Runswick Bay soon pushed along and detached in rear, tailed off when pulled up after 2f, lame behind




Analyis of the race

COBO BAY became the second successive front-runner to prevail, the common denominator being Darryll Holland, who again judged things to perfection. His mount pulled out plenty when pressure was applied and drew away inside the last. He has clearly started the season in good nick.

Albaqaa, who was dropped-in behind the leaders, took a bit of settling. He came out of the pack to go in pursuit of the winner approaching the last, but, although drawing well clear of the rest, he could not reel in the winner.

Ivestar was comfortably held in third.

Upton Grey dropped right away to finish well adrift.
