Russet Reward made all, ridden over 1f out, edged left inside final furlong, held on well
Metroland pressed winner, ridden and every chance from over 1f out, kept on final furlong
Peninsular War steadied behind leaders, effort and ridden over 1f out, edged left, kept on same pace final furlong
Analyis of the race
Things may have gone to plan for odds-on backers in the opener, but the 1-4 chance Peninsular War was floored by RUSSET REWARD who showed good speed to lead from pillar to post, making all and sticking well to his task to hold off the runner-up and he will get another furlong.
Metroland had seemingly run below expectations last time on quicker ground than she had met first time, and maybe she would have appreciated an easier surface than she encountered here, but she did not go down without a fight and it will be interesting to see her back on some good to soft.
