Mister Laurel made all, pushed along and edged right over 1f out, held on well final furlong
Verinco covered up behind leaders, effort and pulled out over 1f out, ridden and pressed winner inside final furlong, held when hesitated near finish
Taazur pressed winner to inside final furlong, no extra
Montmartre dwelt, ran green in rear, never on terms
Analyis of the race
There was plenty to like about MISTER LAUREL in the parade ring, and though he was making his racecourse bow he knew his job and stuck to his task really well in the closing stages.
The winner is a laid back individual and, well regarded, he has improvement to come, with another furlong likely to suit.
Vernico, who had a race here three weeks ago won when he jinked and unseated his rider close home, interestingly shied at the same spot as he went to post this time. Blinkered for the first time, he did nothing wrong when it mattered here and just found the concession of 3lb to the winner too much.
Montmartre was very green and always having a struggle to go the pace, but there is likely to better to come from him later on.
