Goshawk performed like a first-class colt and when be easily ran the five-eighths in B8t4 over a track that was not fast his race was decidedly impressive. Goshawk proved a rapid starter, rushing into a gocd lead in the first few strides and was always ear, while Morris had him under restraint at the end Better Luck was never far from the pace, but at the end was doing his best to withstand the rush of Spot Cash. This one bolted to the outside shortly after the start and had to close a considerable gap to take the short end of the purse.
