The consistent Streets Of Avalon recorded his second stakes success and his sixth victory (15 placings) in 32 starts in winning here. He began well and settled outside the leader (Sircconi) at a steady tempo. He got to the front at the 200m and then battled gamely to score a narrow but good win. The favourite Manolo Blahniq raced in sixth place, one off the rails. He improved (deep) rounding the home turn and then ran on really well in the sprint home for (half-neck) second. Fastnet Tempest raced second last place in the eight-horse field, got between runners on turning for home to be handy at the 200m and then fought on well for third.
