Conquest Bespoke kicks clear late to take top purse

Always well positioned, the 2/1 second favourite appeared to be held by the second halfway down the straight, but found a second gear to run out a 1 1/4 lengths winner.

Pre-race events favourite Howsweetitis never fired and finished a disappointing last of the seven runners.

After a very lean start to his Trinidad stint, Venezuelan jockey Jorge Bracho came good yesterday, landing two winners — Reggae Rhythm and Winning Report, to share riding honours with countryman Galviz, who also booted home a double.

It was a good day for Rohit Dube who saddled two winners — his owner U Crazy Diamond and Doctor James to be top of his peers on the day.

Champion owner Shivam Maharaj listed two more victories yesterday with his Reggae Rhythm and Conquest Bespoke.
