PANAMA CITY was no match for the speedy Pocket The Profit on his reappearance at Pontefract but that was an encouraging first run for the Easterby yard and the third has won since. Cotai Class is not improving but Cotai West has yet to run a bad race and might enjoy the slightly longer trip. Sir Robin, on the other hand, looked a little one-paced over 7f here 11 days ago and may not appreciate the drop back in distance. Close Quarters ran green at Pontefract and may need more time.
