There was a mixed bag in this two-year-old race, a couple of which had respectable form. None of them, however, was in the same league as SOUTH CENTRAL, who was head and shoulders over his rivals in ability and won by 13 lengths, a margin which would probably have been extended to 20 had he not been eased down in the final 75 yards.
Quite how good he is, is anybody's guess, but this was a hugely impressive debut from this American-bred colt, who had been purchased for £60,000 at the Doncaster Breeze-Up Sales.
What A Fella shaped well on his debut to come out best of the rest, just ahead of his stablemate Hel's Angel. Both should have benefited from their experience.
Faraway Sound came into this race with sound enough credentials, not least on his recent narrow defeat at Newcastle. Here, though, he failed to show the same level of form. Perhaps this race came a shade too quickly for him after Newcastle.
Bragging Rights failed to build on his debut performance.
