Casino National Sprint (LR)

WT: 54.0kg Type: OPEN

Gold Symphony won very well in scoring his third stakes win here. He settled nicely in a good spot, racing back in sixth on the rails behind a good tempo. He improved along the inner nearing the home turn, got a split nearing the 200m, took the lead at the 100m and then went on to win comfortably. Happy Clapper put up a smart first up effort under his 60.5kg top weight. He went back from his wide barrier (13) and settled near last and wide in the 13-horse field before improving, (widest of all) at the home turn. He then put in a strong finish (in the centre of the track) and caught the eye with his late-closing second. The favourite Handfast had a good run in fourth place on the rails, before switching out nearing the home turn. He briefly looked the winner when he took the lead at the 200m and then held on quite well to take third placing after seeming to have had every chance.
