Analyis of the race
Nothing to get too carried away with in this weak event but SABRE LIGHT was able to gain his second career success with the minimum of fuss. He had made little impression in a better event over 1m3f here last week but had won a claimer at Redcar previously and the drop to this class proved ideal.
He came through to lead two furlongs out after being held up in touch, and ran right away from his rivals in the closing stages. He was giving weight all round and can find further opportunities at this sort of level on fast ground.Secret Meaning kept on in the closing stages but has proved more effective at shorter trips and Sergeant Sharpe was a little disappointing after running well enough in aclaimer at Windsor last time.
