GOOD
Consistent Barbara Joseph and Paul Jones-trained gelding Almost Court is now the winner of seven of 15 starts and he did well in winning his first at stakes level here. He began well and soon went to the front. He then travelled nicely at a steady tempo (first 1400m 1:29.91), picked up the pace from the 600m, grabbed a break at the 300m and then held on to score despite tiring over the latter stages. Admiral Jello raced in fifth place, on the rails, got through to third at the 200m and made late ground in the sprint home for (long head) second. Get On The Grange had a good trip in third place, went to second at the 300m and then kept battling on for a close-up third.
