Great day with perfect weather and close to call races, with only two favourites winning. The races included some very fresh horses especially Lean On Pete in the first race who took a keen hold and drastically pulled, finished third.
The third race had Crinkley Bottom withdrawn after going through the rail at the starting gates, the ride to the start was eventful. Eddiebet had a strong start and led with the rest of the field being tightly packed together with not much changing until 3 furlongs out, when Eddiebet's pace slowed and at 2 furlongs out Passcode and Amitie Waltz strengthened. Passcode rallied in the final furlong and succeeded the competition between himself and Amitie Waltz. Passcode carried on smoothly to win, being an 11/8 favourite, beating Amitie Waltz into second by a short head. Eddiebet finished third 5 lengths behind.
In the 3:55 before the race even started Red Touch was difficult and forced into the stalls. Robero was quickly away and led, Order Of Service was stuck in the stalls and very slow to race. Robero had the lead the whole way tracked by Custard The Dragon, Among Angels and Intensical up to 2 furlongs out when he was joined by Custard The Dragon who went on to make head way and challenge Robero. The pace quickened in the final furlong, Robero couldn't keep up and was driven on. However during the fight for the lead Robero was slightly hampered by Custard The Dragon which resulted in a steward's enquiry, the result remained unchanged. Custard The Dragon won by a head to Robero in second and Among Angels in third.
