Analyis of the race

A result that looked pretty unlikely even entering the final furlong as NAPOLETANO was switched wide to make his effort from the back. However, he didn't look to be picking up to any great degree as Prince Valentine struck for home but the turbo-charge kicked in and he really found his stride down the middle of the track to get on top close home. A reliable type in this sort of grade, he's proven his effectiveness at the track before and seemed to see out this mile trip very well given he's done mostof his racing over shorter.

Lopinot kept on at the one pace having held every chance and he, too, is attractively handicapped at present, while Quaglino Way weakened having set the tempo.
