First Command's win broke a 12-month drought
Trainer advised now likely to be restricted to races over 1000-1100m & to bypass the bigger sprint races this autumn
General Truce raced without much luck could be one to watch next start

Thought Grand Duels a good chance for back-to-back wins in this race but was scratched on arrival at the course. Injured during the float trip.

Keep till next time ;)
