Re Barolo hampered start, tracked leader, ridden and effort over 1f out, led 1f out, ran on strongly
Troubadour took keen hold, held up in 3rd place, pulled out and headway 3f out, every and ridden well over 1f out, outpaced by winner final furlong
Road To Love went right start, took keen hold, led ridden over 1f out, headed 1f out, weakened inside final furlong
Re Barolo picked up the best and in the end won pretty emphatically, coming away to score by over two lengths and create quite a nice impression.
He got stuck in the mud on turf last time but had been quite progressive on this surface prior to that and proved that he was still on an upward curve, travelling and quickening in thestyle of a horse capable of holding his own in pattern company. It remains to be seen if he can reproduce this level of form on turf, but his trainer thinks quick ground will help.
Road To Love was left behind by the front two at the business end but this was his first start for 313 days and he can only improve for the outing.
