The Lindsay Park-trained colt Eshtiraak is promising having now raced three times for two wins and a third. He began well, was shuffled back to fourth in the small six-horse field before improving (deep) rounding the home turn. He took the lead at the 200m and then fought back to win well. The Steve Richards-trained colt Sunquest also put up a good effort, resuming here at his second race start. He was ridden quietly and settled in last place in the small field, remaining there until making his move (wide out) at the home turn. He got to third at the 200m and then kept running on really well for a very good second.
