Darren Weir-trained four-year-old gelding Craven Image won quite impressively. Stepping up to 1600m here at this third race start after finishing runner-up at his first two runs, he settled in fourth place on the rails from his inside barrier (1) behind a steady tempo, before taking a split to take the lead at the 300m. He then raced to the lead and then drew away to score easily, running the 1600m out very well. He is a promising stayer and is horse to watch.
