Fire In Cairo dwelt, soon prominent, weakened over 2f out
Ellies Faith led 1f, chased leaders, driven over 4f out, weakened 2f out
Prince Rossi dwelt, held up in rear, effort over 4f out, never a factor, behind final 2f
Slivovic mid-division, driven 7f out, lost place over 2f out, soon behind
ELITE LAND had done enough last time to suggest he could win a race of this nature and he won all out and maybe with a bit of luck.
The runner-up Psycho Cat, showing much better form than he had on his first two outings of the campaign, drifted across to the stands' side and was beaten only a head.
Cecina Marina, 4lb out of the handicap, made an encouraging return to action.
Cape Dancer ran all right and a drop back to a mile and a quarter would suit.
