The Bjorn Baker-trained three-year-old Samadoubt staged a very good effort in winning here. He began well from his wide barrier (10) and showed good early pace to lead. He then travelled well, got a break on turning for home and was not threatened from that point to win easily, running the 1600m out really well. The Chris Waller-trained filly Jaunty was second most of the way and held on to take that position at the post, her third such placing in three starts to date.
