Fast Hanna now qualifies for a handicap mark, running probably his best race in the process, and certainly seems to show a liking for a bit of cut in the ground. Tracking the winner most of the way, he couldn’t quicken with him a furlong out but kept on well enough and shouldn’t object to an extra furlong.
Newcomer Foxcent showed some ability. After getting into a good position early on from which to challenge, he came under pressure two furlongs out and could really only keep on at one pace. He should improve and might just appreciate an extra furlong and better ground.
Tobar Na Hinfe kept on well from mid-division to be closest at the finish, ahead of Ucantoo, who broke well before dropping back early in the straight. He did keep on without being dangerous and now qualifies for a handicap mark.
Dane River broke slowly before making progress to be on the heels of the leaders before the turn into the straight. He unfortunately stumbled, though, breaking a leg in the straight, and having to be destroyed. [JOH]
