showcased his durability as he went one better than the previous day, getting revenge on a Hughes/McCain rival this time but only just, deserving extra credit considering he was one of a couple caught in the backwash of the early faller; raced off the pace, took time to warm to task, hampered fifth, progress home turn, chased leader last, stayed on to lead close home, the return to 2½m predictably in his favour (likely to stay further still).
