JOCKEYS CELEBRATION DAY SPRINT
Results
Handy race to finish. NAJEM SUHAIL (3) resumed with a very smart victory here over 1000m, sitting on speed as is his usual pattern and coming away well to score by 1.5 lengths. Strikes a handy field here but has run very well at this course and distance and will be in front for a long way. BENEDETTA (2) is the obvious. She set tongues wagging with a high rating, dominant 3 length win down the straight over 1200m before running third in a hot race at this track and distance before a spell. Is on a Group 1 sprint path and would need to be winning this to justify that. NO WAY EVER (15) held her ground well for fourth behind Najem Suhail first up over 1000m. She's better suited to the 1100m and gets in with just 52.5kg. RANTING (7) resumed for the Nick Ryan stable and ran well. Desperately needs another win but is in good hands.
