Just a quick review of the feast of 2-y-o racing yesterday.
In the first a 5f. event Mohale was given a bit of a tour of the Rowley Mile course but was making headway late on but just failed to get third place. A Kodiac filly who is likely to be better over further on this evidence.
On the Post's Topspeed figures this much the highest rated of the six races. The winner Eye Of Heaven (Johnston/Dettori) was always a strong favourite, he broke well and travelled strongly throughout. Third-placed Tactical (The Queen/A. Balding/Oisin Murphy didn't have the clearest of runs inside the final furlong but he wouldn't have beaten the winner without the bad trip.
In the third heat the winner, Bright Devil (25/1) broke very well and travelled well in front and made all. Existent, a Kingman colt, ran on well and despite drifting right for Dettori, he finished a close third and will definitely improve for the run.
The well-bred Creative Force (Dubawi) made just about all on the stand rail and finally beat off the persistent challenge of Imperial Force inside the final furlong. Topspeed figure disappointing.
Valpolicella won at long odds but the first seven crossing the line within three lengths of each other(they raced in a bunch throughout) suggests that it wasn't a great race.
The last of the Newmarket Six was another uninspired heat. The winner and 2/1 f. Setarhe was held up at the back and was brought from last to first inside the final furlong. The first three drew away from the rest close home.
Up at Newcastle Adaay Dream (by FSS ADAAY) was a convincing winner travelling strongly just off the lead he quickened at the furlong marker and put the race to bed. High Peak (FSS FASCINATING ROCK) went off the 7/4f. and did alright on debut.
