Man Booker scored his sixth win in 12 starts and his second at stakes level in winning easily here. He began well and settled in third place, one off the rails tracking a good tempo, before moving up well nearing the home turn. He raced to the front at the 200m and then drew away for an easy win. The favourite Great Shot was quickly away and went to the front. He was then pressured a bit in the lead but still held the front on straightening, but he could not answer the winner’s challenge at the 200m before holding on well for a sound second. Coming Back raced back in last place in the nine-horse field and ran on very well to take the minor placing.
