BE CAPTIVATED TROPHY
Results
SAINT GEORGE (2) had to dig in and really work for it last time but he was able to do just that, follow up the win prior, and now he gets to the longer trip which is going to suit him all the better. He stays well and he still has plenty to offer over staying distances. NEWFOUNDLAND (3) is seven years old but he too has more to offer having been lightly tried and he showed good zest for it winning second up. SCARY (4) attempts the same here. Only a short break before last time but ran well and all the better for it. BERKELEY SQUARE (1) can be well served by this trip now and it was the step up that saw STYLISH SECRET (9) find his race last time. This is much tougher for him but he has to be respected off a win.
