SULARNO had disappointed previously this year but clearly benefited from the drop down to 1m from middle-distances and the return to a track where he has run well before and scored most emphatically, leading after 2f , clear on the home turn and always in command in the straight, passing the post unchallenged. This was a weak race but he clearly goes well on Fibresand and is well worth keeping in mind.
He was chased home by three rivals who came from well off the pace. Bessemer stayed on to take second inside the final 1f without threatening the winner - nonetheless, this was a step up on his reappearance effort.
Early leader Carefree ran better than on her first run for this stable, while Welcome Releaf made some late headway without threatening and Komreyev Star, who chased the winner from 3f out but paid for it and weakened over 1f out, was ultimately below his best on his first run for nearly four months.
