Meanwhile, Odds On Sara Sara got away in the middle of the pack, pulled down the backstretch to be third over and followed the three-wide cover of Bella Rain (Dan Noble) through the last turn. It was a cavalry charge to the finish with Odds On Sara Sara on the far outside winning by a quarter-length over Jumpstyle Hanover (Chris Page) who split Seaside Party, who got the pocket trip to finish third, and John’s Shadow who was fourth.
