Deadly Design Zipping Classic (G2)
The Andre Fabre-trained Au Revoir began well and soon crossed to the lead before easing to settle in second place, following a moderate mid-race tempo. He moved up to be outside the leader at the 800m, went to the front at the 300m, was headed at the 150m and then fought back gamely to score by a head in a solid staying performance. Epingle settled well in fifth place on the rails, got an inside run at the turn and went through to challenge at the 300m. She took a narrow lead at the 150m but was out-gamed nearing the post for second after putting up a very good effort. The favourite Prince Of Penzance had a perfect trip in third place on the rails, challenged at the 200m but just battled from that point for third, after appearing to have every chance. Spillway travelled well in seventh place on the rails in the eight-horse field, switched into clear running at the 300m and battled on fairly well from that point to finish fourth while Green Moon disappointed in finishing fifth after being a handy fourth to the turn.
